The other day, I was leaving the gym, when I heard a woman introduce my trainer, Paul, to her daughter. “Honey, this is Paul. He’s the one who kicks Mommy’s butt and the reason why she’s in pain all the time.”
I turned around. I couldn’t believe I heard that!
A few days later, I heard one of the trainers at New York Sports Club say to his client, “today, I’m going to kick your butt.”
Mmmm… Kick his butt? Is working someone hard kicking butt? What is kicking butt?
I looked it up. There were two definitions — kick (somebody’s) butt also kick some butt
If this is what it means, then why is it that clients keep coming back for more? Is it that they like the “butt kicking?” Or is it an attention thing?
I’m not really sure, but the other day, my husband said, “do you really need to go to a trainer? It’s a lot of money and I don’t understand why you can’t do it yourself.”
“I just don’t think I could kick my own butt,” I said to him. “And you know what, I like getting my butt kicked…”
