Strip Search

[twonines]

'is she strong-smelling?' - but also 'is she (her pubic hair) thick, coarse?' 'Rank' as an adjective with those (and other) senses isn't very common in modern English, it's curious it was being used in that way in a police station. There might be some obscure pun on the (unrelated) noun 'rank' = 'level of seniority', but if there is it escapes me.

I think it is probably used more often than you think, "rank outsider", is a fairly common expression and "rank" is often used as an alternative for "utter", or "absolute". Although this may be a generational thing and I feel nervous debating linguistics with you.

Oh yes, it's used a sort of disparaging intensive, e.g. 'Boris Johnson's rank hypocrisy'. But I don't think I've come across 'rank' for 'rank smell' or 'rank growth' except in writing. But then - for all my efforts - I've never (so far) been strip-searched in a police station. When I am, I'll be no doubt be taking note of interesting idioms.

I agree with 99, I have no problem identifying 'rank' on its own as meaning a bad smell.

A story from the headlines here in the UK. Obviously I believe this poor woman should not have been subjected to this, but...why does her account give me an erotic shiver? It's so wrong!

That's the one that we were discussing, with TwoNines and Old Slave pulling rank on me!

Strip searched in the police station : you can get for free, what you maybe have to pay for in a BDSM club!

I'd agree that "rank" can be used for something bad smelling

We really must do something about that, Eul.

Let's get you ready


Now, assume the position


I look forward to your account of the experience, and new insights into vernacular that you have picked up.

Keep in mind this is a UK story so maybe they say "that's rank" more than "that smells"?

Great opportunity for anyone who wants to be locked up, handcuffed and strip-searched without all that tedious business of committing a crime first:

Another strip search on jail intake, from the 2021 Polish serial "Skazana". Well-dressed middle-aged woman is forced to strip and gets the traditional rubber glove in bottom welcome. She doesn't like it.

The IMdb plot summary is: "Successful judge Alicja Mazur, who is known for her severity towards criminals. The woman is unexpectedly accused of a murder she did not commit. She is sent to prison, where she has to survive among the women she previously condemned herself. She is kept alive by a teenage daughter and a desire to take revenge on those who set her up."

Particularly like No2, a normal, healthy, fit young woman, with no tattoos, piercings or implants being completely humiliated as she is introduced to her life in prison.

Cool photos. I liked the one of the woman fighting to defend her clothes. It's not clear what's going on in the last one?
Otherwise, they're all great.

The good news : she will not stay for long in prison!
The bad news : she will be crucified soon!
