What do these 3Oh!3 lyrics mean? (Song: Don't Trust Me)
Question Posted Tuesday June 23 2009, 1:04 pm
Okay I know this HAS to be really stupid but I really don't understand it.
I was listening to the 3OH!3 song "Don't Trust Me" last night and realized I was confused about a part. haha I love 3OH!3 though and Don't Trust Me is totally my favorite song.
It says:
"Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't f*cking scared of him."

"Beef" is slang meaning holding a grudge, or having a problem with someone. Since vegetarians obviously don't eat beef because it comes from cows, the songwriter is basically saying he is not afraid to take down the boyfriend. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

Ok well basically when someone says theyve got beef, it means that theyre strong and they could beat you up and stuff.
So when he says Im a vegetarian and I aint f*cking scared of him, thats a joke... like since hes a "vegetarian" then he won't eat beef...therefore he isn't scared of his "beef"... umm...very hard to explain hahah! Does that sort of make sense?
