Raccoon variety

Question

My sister appeared in a triple-X miniskirt and platform shoes, with eyes that were definitely of the raccoon variety. My mother gasped, but then took a deep breath and said, “Good morning, honey. You're… you're …I thought you were going to church this morning with your friends.”

triple-x miniskirt: I guess it's the size of the miniskirt my sister wears.

what's the meaning of the raccoon variety?

Let me also add that the key to this wording is that raccoons obviously have this sort of make-up "by default", so to speak; nature endowed them with such eyes:

It means her eyes resembled those of a raccoon (probably due to the style of eye makeup she used).

Here is link to a good picture of a raccoon:

"Triple X Miniskirt". Triple X is a rating that is given by the Motion Picture Industry of America. R is Restricted viewing for those under 18. PG, PG-13 and G are other types of ratings. Triple X is for pornographic films.

So I see that Triple X is a rating for films. When it used for skirt, I guess it either indicates the skirt is too exposed or the picture on the skirt is pornographic?

CalifJim · Answer

Delathe skirt is too exposed

The skirt allows too much to be exposed.

Delathe picture on the skirt is pornographic?

Very highly unlikely.

Hello everyone,

I agreed with Mvalle3, but I started looking into the use of ***. I always thought (until today :-) that *** was a rating given by the Motion Picture Association to indicate that the film in question contained extreme violence, bad language, full nudity, *** acts (or anything else that a 14 year-old boy would move heaven and earth to see).

While Wikipedia is far from my favorite source, I did find the following, which accurately assesses the development and use of ***.

"Because the X-rating was not trademarked, anybody could apply it to their films, including pornographers, which many began to do in the 1970s. As *********** began to become chic and more legally tolerated, pornographers placed an X-rating on their films to emphasize the adult nature of them. Some even started using multiple X's (i.e. XX, ***, etc.) to give the impression that their film contained more graphic sexual content than the simple X-rating. In some cases, reviewers or film scholars applied the X ratings, e.g. William Rotsler, who wrote, "The ***-rating means hard-core, the XX-rating is for simulation, and an X-rating is for comparatively cool films." Nothing beyond the simple X-rating has ever been officially recognized by the MPAA.”

Concerning the original question about the *** skirt, I think that CalifJim has the best answer.
