NewYorkCity 10,536 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 thank you for making this thread because I couldn't understand it either...I mean, I know what she means, but I didn't know what "for days" means... like, it is something you use a lot in english to talk about something you like a lot? "He's got a car for days"? I had never heard it before lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho 3,694 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'll use legs as an example because it's easier to explain. When someone says "Damn, she's got legs for days!" they're either saying her legs are long but generally it just means that they have beautiful legs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenziel 538 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Since I think somebody already answered it, I'm just gonna share a fun fact. That line is really clever because that phrase started to emerge in 1994 which is the time where that scene happened. SmartGa Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want be abused.

I had never heard it before lol It's definitely an American colloquialism, and I can only imagine what it sounds like to non-native speakers. lol But the phrase "...for days" only really applies to a person's body part or appendages. For example: "he's got an ass for days", "she's got legs for days", etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderzap00 122 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 To make the explanation clearer ... the ending part of that sentence "...for days" is a slang phrase primarily used in gay communities and it simply means to emphasize an attribute or feature of a person or thing. For example - "That girl has legs for DAYS" translation "That girl has some long/beautiful legs" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlahForever1 671 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I thought it was a bit of a pun:1) Donovan is incredibly handsome2) She wants to drink his blood and could feed on him for days. Vampires typically drink their victims blood on the neck just below the jawline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmaladepanda 0 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He has a Jawline for days means similar to "thats a face for radio" in the film "evolution" Vampires are creatures of the night. She is saying he is too beautiful to only be restricted to the night, and he should be seen in the light of day. Thats a jawline for days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
