Messing Around
My friend always thought “jerking it” was like “messing around.” Like, as in wasting time.
When she was in middle school a kid was commenting on how far along she was on an art project. In response, she said, “Maybe you’d be this far if you weren’t jerking it all the time.” In front of the whole class.
And yet, she still only learned that wasn’t what it meant her junior year in college.
