Hi - I enjoy ATS because of its diversity. The crazy posts (in my view) provide entertainment and I am constantly impressed by the well researched content of many contributors.
I'm sure you'll have an interesting time here.

I'm still not sure about your reference, it could be because I'm in Australia & we're a bit slow on the uptake, here;-)

LOL, well basically there is a phrase here in the States: "He/She gave me a good butt chewing" or "I chewed his rear for what he/she did or said" or "The boss really chewed me out for the mistake I made". This means that while engaged in a heated debate/discussion/argument the other person, or perhaps yourself, used words to give the other person a verbal kick in the pants.
Here on ATS, sometimes, the discussions seem to get to this boiling point. So in order to protect from the "butt chewing" or "kick in the pants" I was suggesting a pair of steel undies in order to keep your backside intact!
