ReplyDeleteAlways good for a cheap laugh, or for some modern snarky know-it-all to point out that "This is supposed to be for kids?!" when used supposedly out-of-context in older media :)
ReplyDeleteBut the phrase "turn me on" actually *does* have a legitimate alternate meaning of "to be or become interested in; often used with to" as in "getting turned on to jazz" (meaning to become interested in that form of music)...at least according to the Free Dictionary.com website (by Farlex) :P
It's related to the fact that "turning on" means to make something work, like "turning on" a light-switch, or "turning on the charm" & is also quite frequently used to be more associated with drugs rather than sex (as in "turning on to acid", etc) :D
