lightcastleI encountered this as a euphemism earlier today. (Yes, I am talking about sex.)
On one level, I kind of like it, because I happen to be fond of indirect speech that isn't actually indirect. On another, given my past experiences, this dances a bit close to the "you're obligated to put out".
That's a shame, I think. I would like "sing for your supper" and "earn your breakfast" to be playful again.
