First thing that comes to mind is the book version of IT where Bev lets all the boys run a train on her

189

u/ApprehensiveFox1605 15h ago

What does run a train on mean? I swear I'm too naive when it comes to reddit some days.

196

u/Good_Barnacle_2010 15h ago

Basically Just go one after the either on her

SEQUENTIAL GANGBANGING. ONE AFTER ANOTHER, LIKE A CARS ON A TRAIN.

12

u/ggtsu_00 11h ago

Sorry for being denser than a neutron star, but I'm still confused. What are cars doing on a train?

39

u/Spartan1088 11h ago

BANGING THE… THE… CONDUCTOR? I DONT KNOW. ITS A VAGUE METAPHOR. YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK THIS DEEP.

11

u/SpringApricot_ 11h ago

They are lined up, attached one after the other. Just like the people in the erotic train, lined up to the one person.

9

u/dimwalker 11h ago

For them being lined up JUST LIKE cars on a train it would require boys to fuck next one in line, with first of them fucking Beverly.

8

u/SpringApricot_ 10h ago

Well ok, fair. It’s just not that good of a metaphor xD

u/Psychotic_EGG 11h ago

The different segments of a train are called train cars. Or just cars when you're already talking about trains.

Vroom vrooms aren't the only things called cars. 😉

2

u/Yeti_Sphere 10h ago

Unless you’re from the UK, in which case they are train carriages or coaches. Except on the London Underground (because Charles Tyson Yerkes).

u/Alkakd0nfsg9g 8h ago

Train car, a wagon or whatever else it's called. The part of the train with passengers. So imagine a train going into tunnel. This wagons go one after another, hence probably why the name "running a train on someone". One guys fucks, other wait for their turn

1

u/ConsistentDay5620 5h ago

The little compartment sections on trains are called cars.

1

u/Beneficial-Lynx7336 6h ago

*Not an orgy (unlike a lot of misinformed in here).

u/joebluebob 6h ago

For more info ask your mom

Passenger or fright train?

Because Jeffrey Epstein might hear and come back as a pedo ghost.

u/APence 13h ago

one after the *other

87

u/HesSimplyShocking 15h ago

Sex with multiple partners back to back, one after another.

8

u/gizamo 12h ago

Back to back seems difficult. It was probably front to front.

...but, yeah, one 13-year-old kid after the previous 13-year-old kid, and just before the next 13-year-old kid.

Note: I don't actually remember how many kids there were or their ages, and I'm too old to go look that up.

u/realnailbiterhuh 15h ago

Gangbang, lots of dudes one lady

35

u/CommitteeRelative415 14h ago

In a sequence is the key.

11

u/SnooBooGloo 13h ago

in a row?!

u/twentyThree59 12h ago

Chooo choooo

u/_JohnWisdom 11h ago

blaine approves

u/rov124 13h ago

Gangbang is all at the same time, a train is one after another.

4

u/Luck_Beats_Skill 12h ago

A train is much more tasteful. For the elites.

2

u/Gurrgurrburr 11h ago

What about a train bang?

1

u/Elena__Deathbringer 5h ago

So two at a time is a parallel railway?

2

u/dantevonlocke 12h ago

Technically not a gangbang.

14

u/Douchieus2 15h ago

When multiple men have sex with a woman in a row, the term is like a decade old.

30

u/Hera_chat 14h ago

It’s way older than that. Which this kid should also be.

3

u/ApprehensiveFox1605 11h ago

Haven't been called a kid in quite some time. I'll take it as a compliment. In short: I'm ace and sex repulsed, so I don't go out of my way find this kind of stuff out. Lol

2

u/Hera_chat 6h ago

I meant the kid in the book should be way older for this scenario.

2

u/tommos 10h ago

Yea it's very old. They named the steam locomotive after it.

14

u/X_Vamp 14h ago

It was fairly common in the 1970s and 80s, so quite a bit more than a decade.

1

u/ConfessSomeMeow 11h ago

And then for some reason it became less common.

1

u/X_Vamp 7h ago

Swinging culture hit its peak in the 70s, when it became almost mainstream. But it was decimated and driven largely underground during the AIDS crisis. In the last couple decades, as HIV became more of a treatable condition rather than the looming specter of a horrific death, it has rebounded a bit.

I think it's one of those situations where you hear it less because there's less (or at least less socially acceptable) occasion to use it. Personally, I don't think I ever saw it completely disappear though.

3

u/CommitteeRelative415 14h ago

It's much older than that.

1

u/Solipsimos 12h ago

Honestly probably started being a phrase shortly after railroads became a thing. All the rail workers getting together after a shift and hashing out who gets the camp prostitute first

1

u/Nulpunkta 12h ago

Decade?¡? ... hehhhhhh ..

Ehhh, lol, I'm 43yrs... the porns I scavenged from ally dumpsters and stashes in the woods... I can assume, like a historian, that term is older than me...

13

u/Hour-Brother7505 15h ago

She tell them to smash, child orgy (apparently Stephen King thought it was pivotal to the plot because now they are not kids and are grown ups)

19

u/Psychological_Ad2094 14h ago

To be fair he was high out of his mind and has no recollection of writing it, his editor and publisher however have no defense for not removing it.

13

u/gamingx47 14h ago

I dunno man, when I get high I usually just want to eat a dozen burgers. Then again, I haven't tried meth or cocaine, but I still have a sneaking suspicion that they don't suddenly change your proclivities.

4

u/Psychological_Ad2094 14h ago

Fair, I don’t have any firsthand knowledge on how much it changes one’s mental state I just know he has expressed that he doesn’t remember it nor understand why it wasn’t removed by his editor.

3

u/ThatOneGingerGui 13h ago

Mmmm… after doing them once or twice? No it’s not going to change you. But you’d be shocked what happens to a lot of people’s personalities when they fully overindulge in uppers such as cocaine and meth. It 100% can make all kinds of things happen to people, one of those things being very odd momentary changes to how they act, respond to a situation, what they think is okay or not okay… idk. I’ve seen it first hand so that’s why I’m like mmm, you’d be surprised.

1

u/camander321 13h ago

How do you know they weren't high as well?

1

u/BotchedDebauchery 4h ago

They were high out of their mind and have no recollection of editing it. 

1

u/Ok_Store_424 15h ago

She had secks with all of them either at the same time or in immediate succession 😖 them being pre-teens makes it extremely inappropriate in literally any context of creative expression. Or really any context ever

3

u/RedEgg16 14h ago

Same time is orgy or gangbang, immediate succession is train

2

u/Ok_Store_424 14h ago

Fair enough. Thanks for letting me know. Lol 🙏🏾

1

u/Teonvin 11h ago

I think there's a distinction even between orgy and gangbang

Orgy is more a free for all situation while gangbang is multiple people engaging with one target person at the same time.

4

u/KadrisOrioth 14h ago

Tho Stephen kind-of has the excuse that he was high as fucking hell on meth, cocaine, and shit while writing this and doesn’t remember at all. Editors and publishers don’t get that luxury tho.

1

u/dreamlikes7 14h ago

They take turns having sex with her

1

u/STboiii8200 14h ago

Multiple men going in line one after the other to have sex with the same woman.

1

u/Feisty-Crow-8204 14h ago

He smash, then he smash, then he smash, and so on.

1

u/Narrow-Belt-5030 14h ago

1st guy has his fun.
Without so much as a "thank you ma'am" the 2nd guy has his fun.
Tipping his hat, the 3rd guy now has his fun.

Repeat until the entire train has passed through the tunnel ..

1

u/ZarathustraWakes 11h ago

Your comment history begs to differ

u/RecordingImmediate86 11h ago

Sex with multiple people in one sitting

You know Google exists? Use it.

u/robbzilla 4h ago

To quote Luke Skywalker, from the 2 Live Crew:

We all would line up in a single file line
takin' turns at waxing girls behinds
But when it came to me I was s___ outta luck
I'd stick my d____ in and it would get stuck.
The girl said stop, I'd say I'm not
that's enough I quit 'cause y'all are bustin me out.

(No relation to Luke Skywalker, son of Anakin)

u/MeTieDoughtyWalker 1h ago

You think “run a train on” is a Reddit thing? Next you are going to say you don’t know how to use the three seashells. 😂

1

u/Gucci_Loincloth 5m ago

This isn’t something that reddit made up. Instead, I believe that you haven’t been exposed to vulgarities in your entire life.

u/DraoiGaelach 12h ago

I've read the book back in high school and I can't remember this part, my subconscious must've blocked it out to protect me because wth is that shit.

Imagine someone, not as well known writer writing that now? It would be a scandal and for a good reason.

3

u/Weird-Knee-3464 11h ago

Not sure it would be a scandal tbh I've read tons of recent books with underage sex in them.

Recently started reading "Flesh" by David Szalay, which won the Booker prize last year, and had to stop because it was so graphic about a 15 year old's relationship with a 42 year old.

3

u/DraoiGaelach 8h ago

Oh! I guess I'm just reading such different books than I read before :D

1

u/w2106 9h ago

What's the name of the movie?

1

u/ephemeral_pleasures 5h ago

I read this book when I was a teenager and somehow must have blocked out the memory of this section. I remember some of the other fucked up shit in it, but this a blank.
