English term or phrase: wearing toys
On parle de scènes coupées dans un commentaire audio.
Je ne comprends pas ce "wear toys" (des jouets dans le caleçon ? un caleçon affriolant ? à l'éffigie de personnages de dessin animés ?? ou tout autre chose ?)

- Right, they edited it out.
- There's a lot of things--
- In one of the first drafts with the phone call when he kept calling and wouldn't hang up.
- That is out too.
(c'est la mère du personnage incarné qui parle ici) :
- And I wanted also the underwear scene, with the girl.
Christopher was wearing toys. That's when I taught him words.
- See, see. So he get it from you.
- "Don't say anything. Don't use profanity, use words to her." Of course I'm wearing the toys in my underwear. You wanna come and play with my toys?" That girl never mess with him. He wore his underwear.
- Another scene that we almost lost.

neutral  Tony M: I don't think so; he says he's wearing the toys IN his udnerwear, suggesting "come and see what I've got here for you to play with..." — though the context is highly confusing!

cockrings


Explanation:
désolé, mais c'est plus que des jouets :

Pour exemple :
Some chicks aren't into men wearing toys though, especially when they're purple, so it can take a little convincing to bring it into the bed

agree  Bernard Moret: C'est en effet plus neutre et plus correct. D'après le contexte, la scène aurait été coupée du film et j'ai été induit en erreur en cherchant "wearing toys" sur internet.

La nuit étant passée dessus, plus j'y pense, moins je crois qu'un "gangsta rapper" se promènerait avec des sex toys dans le slip. Je ne vois pas comment ça y resterait (sans tomber).
Toujours complètement incertaine de ma réponse, pourtant, mais dans la mesure où les membres de gangs et/ou rappeurs portent leur pantalon (comme certains élèves) en dessous des fesses, arborant la majeure partie de leur caleçon (une taille plus que basse, donc) et qu'ils coincent leur flingue dans leur caleçon, lui-même maintenu par leur ceinture, c'est la seule image qui me vient en tête.

There’s a scene early on in the movie where child-Biggie sees some douche on the street wearing gaudy gold chains, so he decides to be a drug dealer. We flash forward to teen-Biggie carrying a gun in his pants and hiding crack rock beneath his bed. His long-suffering mother, well-played by Angela Bassett, still doesn’t know about his crack-slinging.

I never understood that. Why do people shove guns down their pants? Its almost as bad as shoving a grenade up your ass.

Get a fucking holster and/or carrying case/bag, smart guy. :smokin:

I would think that having his testicles blasted off through his own actions would be punishment enough for owning an illegal firearm.
