Tube Steak

[Rooster78]

Why is no one talking about how the guy takes you to a hot dog stand and asks you what you want on you penis. Tube Steak stand for penis, not hot dog. How did this get missed?

Tube steak was slang for hotdog before it was slang for genitals.

Sure, but in the 80s and 90s it sure didn't mean hotdog.

Think you are reading too much into it. Tube steak can sub for either...wouldn't be my first choice of word but hardly noteworthy imo

I never knew what it was. But i grew up in the 90s. Heard of tubesteak in a number of cartoons. (i hated anything live action at the time, exclusively watched cartoons)

I doubt they would have made reference to genitals. Even if cartoons back then were a bit more free in expression, censors be damned.

Looking into it, Oxford dictionary says "Tube Steak" has been in use since the 1960s, its a culinary dish, not slang for genitals. The slang came later.

I guess its like Wiener.
You would think its genitals.
Then they just called hotdogs wieners because it looks like a male genital. But actually its the other way around. Its from the 1900s shorthand term for the german Wienerwurst. The hotdog name came first THEN the genitals slang.

Looks like Tubesteak is the same. It was a food first THEN a euphemism.

Right, it was used in the 60s for hotdog, in the 80s on the playground when I was a kid, it didn't mean hotdog. Honestly, think back as far as you can and tell me when have ever had any one offer you a Tube steak and mean hotdog. This game takes place in the 80s, 84 specifically.

Rewatch those cartoons and swap out the words and I bet they did mean it, cartoons were dirtier in the 90s. Animaniacs used to say they wanted to feed the nurse tube steak.

Nowadays everything is a slang for penis, isn't it?

Tube steak is made by wrapping ground beef around an all-beef hot dog and cooking it. I
