    Would have never thought this could be remotely connected to a rape joke. I mean your anus is a metaphor for your wallet. Sorry

      I’m not sure if English is your first language (if not, you write it very well). Direct translations can cause all sorts of misunderstandings. For a native English speaker, that is a rape joke.

        So if someone is eating a really spicy chili and I say “Prepare your anus”.

        Is it a rape joke ?

        Not a native speaker either but I feel presenting the original comment as a rape joke is a stretch.

        Context matters.

        Also breaking news, plenty of Police forces and prison guards are able to kindly ask you to “prepare your anus” and in a very much legal manner. This is how I understood the original comment.

          In the context of eating spicy food, it is fine.

          In the context of law enforcement, it is 100% a rape joke.

            How is it a rape if it’s legal and the person consents to it ?

            Oh well whatever. This is pointless.

        Hi, no english is not my first language, thank you for the compliment tho.

        Anyway, another word that I could have used would have been “prepare to get fucked” still sexual; is it still “rapey” ?
