Hi guys, can you please help me with the meaning of one sentence? Context: Two girls are having a girl's night in the bar, they're really enjoying it. Then another two guys ordered them couple of drinks, one of that girl was excited, but that second girl felt strange about it, she answered: "Come on, a strange guy buys you a drink. The next thing you know, they're making a Jackie suit in the basement." Then they both smiled. {End} Please is "they're making Jackie suit in basement" just another way of saying "they're raping you in the basement" ???? Or did she say just, "the next think you know, that they have a shop with Jackie suits in the basement"??? Name of that suit, Jackie, probably refers to Jackie Kennedy...that's why I think that it could have something to do with the violence, but I'm not sure.
many thanks in advance
Best Regards JCD

Okay, I watched the clip and that seems to be what she says. Then I googled "Jackie suits," and it wasn't very helpful. The best I can come up with is that after Kennedy's assasination, Jackie continued to wear her blood-covered suit for the rest of the day and it was in all the photographs and became very famous. So maybe the woman is saying "they will cause your clothing to be covered in bloo
This is a good mystery question. I listened, and I heard what you heard.
I don't buy that it's a reference to Jackie Kennedy. A woman of the speaker's age wouldn't make a very quick and casual reference to events that seem like ancient history to many people now. And such a reference does not make a lot of sense, anyway.
JC -- can you tell us which episode of which season this is from? I could try to find out more about it, but I see that the show is in its seventh season and I have no idea which episode it is.
Hi guys, It's Season 7, episode 2. thank you guys again for help. I really appreciate it.

PS: Name of the speaker was Sara and she was the one who was kidnapped. That other girl name was Jackie. And she was the one who was excited about that two drinks. I've seen whole episode and they never mentioned something special about her suits, so phrase "Jackie suit
Hello everyone, I have the same problem with this line because I have to translate it for the french version. I fell upon this forum while googling "Jackie suit". I was thinking it could be a reference to The Silence of the Lambs, since the killer Jame Gumb aka Buffalo Bill is a tailor who kidnaps and kills women in order to make a "woman suit" for himself. He actually keeps the women in his
