Actually, that was my expression when the nurse told me where it goes. I was 15 at the time. It was for an anti-nausea drug, after I'd been hit by a car and hospitalised. I had the choice of a suppository or an injection, so I asked what the former was. Even scared of needles as I am, I selected the latter... until she told me to roll onto my side. "No, we can't put it in your arm. It won't work as well."
It's just your hip/upper cheek, really (for the injection). That fleshy area that most teen girls walk around displaying with thong and hip-huggers. About three inches to the right or left of the tramp-stamp. That's the place.
When we were fifteen they told us to scootch our pants down so they could give the shot, but I doubt that's the case anymore.
Well, since I was in the hospital for another two weeks after that day, I was right in declining the shot to an area I'd be laying on almost constantly...
And when *I* was 15, THIS look (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cropped_jeans_1983.jpg) was in. I think I had those pants, too.
I thought the same. This means we either are smrter then the rest, or way too old. My other try was going to be Kitty spies Marlon Brando approaching with the butter, but I didn't think anyone wold get that one.
