English term or phrase: If anybody\'s got any meat, give her a ring.

A: You can tell K. is excited to go home, 'cause this fashion right here...? (camera goes over her clothes, long trousers with boots)

S (New Jersey accent): K. is coming back to L.A. (laughs) If anybody's got any meat, give her a ring.

They are travelling back home from Miami. I was thinking it has something to do with her being dressed this warm. And meat refers to 'naked skin' (bloot), but I'm not sure...

Yes, that's the script, Barend. I can't find the idiom either, and that's all they say about it actually. No extra, helpful context I'm afraid. It just seems like a plausible option to me...

I was initially thinking in the same direction as Frank but I could find no confirmation whatsoever such an idiom exists.

Are you sure?

Does it fit within this script?

SCOTT (New Jersey accent): Kourtney Kardashian's coming back to L.A. (Mason laughs) If anybody's got any meat, give her a ring. >> KOURTNEY: We're

Unfortunately, I can't see the rest

Ik denk dat het weleens zou kunnen kloppen, Frank, dat meat hier als guts moet worden geïnterpreteerd!

Invite her to eat and play a same kind of prank on her?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Are you sure "give a ring" is strictly En-GB, Frank and Eleanora? I'm not sure the getting married option applies here, since the quote comes from her husband. But he does like making jokes, so... ;-). I doubt anyone really knows what he means actually, it's so ambiguous :-).
