[QUOTE="Malika, post: 522315, member: 11227"] I am a translator and often use a translators' forum for any words/phrases I am hesitant about. Today a French translator posted for translation ideas for this phrase (a film she is subtitling), the context being a mother speaking to her rather offbeat and wild daughter about a new boyfriend: [I]Maybe not enough[B] fire burning under his ass[/B] for your tastes, but he'll do for the day?[/I] This is American English and we are all guessing at the meaning of "fire burning under his ass" - I imagine it means energy, passion but am not sure. I know you talk about asses a lot, for some reason :) [/QUOTE]
