APAD: looking like a whole meal

Meaning:

   [slang] Looking very physically attractive or appealing. The phrase is a

   humorous escalation of the slang term "looking like a snack."

 

Examples:

   - He's just standing over there, looking like a whole meal-you should go talk

     to him.

   - Ooh girl, I hope you're ready to get hit on cause you're looking like a

     whole meal tonight!

Americans seem to respond positively to outward praises, even those with a sexual

undertone, like "you look like a whole meal/snack." In a video, as they passed

each other, the guy ascending on an escalator slipped a card into the hands of

one of two young ladies on their way down. It read "Girl, you should sell

hotdogs! You already know how to make a wiener stand" followed by a smiley. The

chick cracked up!

 

In Beijing, in my time there anyway, such flirting would be sexual harassment.

The girl could cry lech and people would seize and maybe beat up the cheeky

rascal.
