      Just explained this to my Irish wife. To “run a train on someone” in American slang would mean having group sex with that person, potentially consecutively.

        This is not fringe at all. There’s way your a gooner and don’t know what this means. People even use the terminology to describe the Sex scene Stephen King randomly put in “IT”. It’s a gangbang but one at a time.

            To appreciate dave mustaine level coked up king, you shouldn’t watch the ‘did okay’ movie, nor the earlier ‘this is terrible’ one, you should go get ‘It’ part 1 and 2 as books :D

                Stephen King’s books tend to be both very long and contain a lot of internal monologue. That’s very much not film-friendly. “Faithful” adaptions tend to drag and have a lot of tell-don’t-show, which makes for a “terrible” film. Unfaithful ones tend to change and cut a lot, which makes them “terrible” adaptions. For instance, “The Shining” film has very little to do with the book, but is an absolutely phenomenal movie. King hated it.

                “IT” the Tim Curry version has Tim Curry in it, who was absolutely fantastic. A lot of material from the book was cut out - I’m thinking it could be 80% or more. That includes the scene where the children have a gang bang in the sewer. Out of nowhere, with no foreshadowing, and it’s never mentioned again if I remember correctly. That might make it a “terrible” unfaithful adaption, but you know something? I’m alright without seeing that.

                  Idk, I just meant young king was wild. As for movie adaptations, I think dr sleep did well. Just because you dragged shining into this, ofc it’s great:D Kubrick does stuff and jack nicholson stars, it was a good movie, but can understand king hated it.

                  Then again, the man himself directed maximum overdrive, and that movie sorely needed Bruce Campbell energy:D

                  Tbf, I actually enjoyed rose red and storm of the century where he was kinda hands on. <- irrelevant afterthought

                  E: it was pretty weird when first read, but the stand and dead zone won me over later :D

      You know how in a train one carriage comes after the other? One ends, then the next one starts?

      Running a train on someone means one guy after the other banging them.

        Although i appreciate you sharing this and that it probably is a video of her hanging out with bad boys, i must admit that i did not watch more than maybe 15 sec of that, combined across a new skips forward.

          That’s why you don’t get it, why ask questions if you don’t want the answer?! That’s the kind of people who say they are going to run a train on a woman. Reprehensible innit love?

                Oh alright. Wouldn’t know who he is and probably wouldn’t understand his lecture based on how much i understood off the few seconds i watched. Luckilly other users have answered with words instead of music videos and they were straight forward and a lot easier to understand
