Margie drinks from the bottle?


What does Keyes mean by that line? Is it he imagines Margie too young (as in baby bottle) or low-class as in she doesn't use a glass?

reply

The latter, Keys is implying she is low class.

Basically he's implying she might be a loose woman. Specifically this references drinking (alcohol) freely. You ever see those alkee bums? They carry around a wine bottle in a brown bag and drink from it LOL
