"Still deep in denial, I spent the cruise on the ship's pool deck, icy beer bucket beside me, thigh-to-oiled-thigh in the sun-worshipping crowd. The international belly flop contest was on: Large, hirsute men from Ohio flung themselves aloft into the pool as I led the sideline vocal scoring."
In this paragraph, what does "thigh-to-oiled-thigh" mean?
Is the crowd really people who worship the sun or people who are sunbathing?
@Justin Xu,
"the sun-worshipping crowd" are people who love to get a sun tan.
they do so religiously, hence the connotation...
"thigh-to-oiled-thigh" means it was crowded on the pool deck...
