Question about Stephen King's novel "IT"

I’ve always heard of the girl pulling a train. But it seems like kind of a dated term since gang-bang is so frequently used now, and extended to other meanings (or perhaps it had other meanings first).

I didn’t like It. About half of King’s books don’t appeal to me. Considering the total volume and individual sizes, that’s still an impressive record.

Except in the book it was all in the dumbass’s head and he wasn’t the host of anything.

I hated that book. Movie was better.

In IT I recall twice Pennywise being introduced as Robert - or Bob - Gray:

When introducing himself to Georgie in the beginning and when a certain old lady (trying to keep it spolier-free, here) tells Bev who carved some furniture in that house.

It was Robert Cray, and was an homage to** Otis Day and the Knights**.

Maybe it was a zombie clown!:smiley:

[speaking as a female] To me ‘a girl pulling a train’ sounds more consensual than ‘gang bang’, perhaps it is the term ‘gang’ which tends to bring to mind a bunch of unruly young men out to be obnoxious with a side of violence.

But you are right, ‘pulling a train’ is the older term, haven’t really heard that in a fairly long time. Random check on youporn you find gangbang more than ‘pulling a train’, and a fair number of sex ‘on a train’ meaning the physical transportation item.
