So That's Why They Call It 'The View'

Style commentator Lloyd Boston did not disappoint yesterday with his presentation of summer swimwear for men. Lloyd was a guest on the ABC television show "The View" and he brought along male models of various races, shapes, sizes, and body types to show how to pick just the right swim trunks for any man.
I've always liked Lloyd Boston, but I particularly enjoyed the way he handled this provocative little discussion with the four women on the show. The conversation was so hilarious I decided to bring it to you without editorial comment.
Junk In the Trunk
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: You and I agree on mostly everything but you're about to tick me off in a major way. You say it's harder for a guy to find a swimsuit than a girl. Try being a woman.
Lloyd Boston: We've shopped together for years, you and I. You know this. Guys, we don't have anything to hide. If you've got a tummy, it's out there. We can't throw on a sarong or a pareo..so you have to be really careful when you're buying swim trunks because there are other tricks we use to balance things out and divert the eye.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Speaking of the eye, let's bring out some guy candy with your first look.
Lloyd Boston: We love guy candy.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Guy candy! Bring it on.
Enter Shawn to wild audience applause.
Lloyd Boston: [laughing] We're never going to be able to get through this.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: [Looking at Shawn's perfect physique] What's the problem?
Lloyd Boston: You may not see a problem here. Shawn looks good all over. I train him actually. [Laughter] But he's got a challenge that a lot of guys have. We call it junk in the trunk. Or as I heard in the South, they call it "draggin' the wagon." But what we did here is we found a great pair of shorts from Nordica, and notice that they have a darker navy blue panel on the back which will minimize the backside if he wants to play it down a little bit...
Joy Behar: He just showed his junk in the trunk and the girls liked it...
Push Up Bra For Men
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: What about someone who's got an ideal body? Your guy has the killer body. What's the best suit you can get him?
Lloyd Boston: Like your guy [New York Giants Quarterback Tim Hasselbeck] I'm sure. Any sports people...
Audience erupts in applause.
Lloyd Boston: Check out Davon here. He's got the perfect body and what does he have to hide? Nothing, so we found a sexy pair of shorts. It's a great finale.
Meredith Vieira: Well he does have pantyhose on. [Thats' a reference to an earlier conversation in which the four women discuss the fact that some of the men had to wear pantyhose for erection protection.]
Lloyd Boston: [Ignoring Vieira's comment] It's from a company called CN2. They're about $60. He's got a sexy cutout on the side. Listen, Joy, these have a secret support action. On the inside on the front they have what's called sling support. The sling support is a secret device on the front which will lift you up where you belong. I'll just leave it at that...Not like Davon needs it, but if your guy needs a little lift they've got it.
Star Jones-Reynolds: Focus, Meredith, focus.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Wait a second. So this is like the pushup bra for men?
Lloyd Boston: Pushup bra for the guys. Exactly.
After saying goodbye to Lloyd, all six models took the stage for the grand finale before the commercial break.
And they all lived happily ever after.

I caught this yesterday. My question is...for someone like the first guy.....why would they want to wear something that would conceal the JUNK IN HIS TRUNK?
CRAZZEEE!!!!

Not much of a semantics freak, but what does 'junk in the trunk' refer to? Is it the 'third-leg' challeged guys? It certainly doesn't sound like it refers to brutha's who are talented!

The one day that I was off work, and should have been watching the view, I didn;t and look what I missed.

Sound interesting forgive me but my comment is that sarongs are something men can wear..RL has made them for years and they are always in the mens fashion mags..

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.
