The phrase "peel me a grape" entered the modern cultural lexicon mainly due to Mae West, as she used it in one of her earliest films. It has since become something of a... what's the word I'm looking for, a colourful phrase used in jest, mainly to jocularly evoke the notion that the person who says it is used to unparalelled luxury, and would be the sort of person whom might issue frivolous orders to underlings or to a smitten suitor. I think its orginal reference may lie somewhere in the ancient works of Cicero, but I can't quite remember at the moment. Also, the line features in several songs, by artists ranging from Led Zeppelin to Diana Krall.

In the initial use of the phrase on this message board, what unparrelled luxury was z-boy refering to?

He was making a play on words vis a vis the word repeal.

Which was actually funny, especially considering that 99.999999% of his other posts are completely witless tripe.
