Who taught: Monk

Recently, Jessy and I have been watching this TV show, Monk, almost everyday on Netflix. As a private detective, Monk is amazing. But he has OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Because of that, he does not even want to shake hands with other people. Once you hear the theme song and see the lyrics from the Youtube video that I am attaching here, you will totally understand what kind of person he is.

I like this line, “You better pay attention or this world we love so much might just kill you,” from the song. Isn’t it so true? We should not love things in the world, they will eventually kill you in one way or the other.

Well, anyway, he used this word in one episode, “beefcake.” Jessy and I was confused because, as far as we know, there is no beefcake in America. I mean no cake made of beef. So, we looked at each other, saying “That word gotta mean something else.”

You know what it is? It means an attractive man with well-developed muscles. As soon as we found out the definition, we looked at each other again, saying “Oh… that makes sense because he used the word when he saw a good looking guy with muscles.”

I am not sure who would be a good example for this word. How about Arnold Schwarzenegger? No? He is not attractive? But he has well-developed muscles.

Maybe he is just a piece of beefcake? Also, who knows there might be a literal beefcake in southern states like Texas.
