Hey everyone. I have a question about this passage from "The Neon Bible": "...I grabbed her by the waist and kept her from falling. It surprised me to find how soft her waist was. Aunt Mae's was hard and the same shape all the time".
Does he mean Aunt Mae is wearing some kind of corset? This is happening soon after the end of war. I have no other ideas and I'm kind of confused by this "the same shape all the time" :)
Thank you!

Need help with one peculiar profanity :)
Hello everyone!
I've been reading s beautiful book by John Irving, and here's one sentence I do not quite understand. "Upon seeing Miss Frost, my mom might have inadvertently prompted her mother to crap in a cat's litter box." Has anyone ever heard a curse like that? I suspect it's just some authors' special, cause I can't really find anything similar. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
