Do you know the meaning of "Cellulite" in this sentence?

Question

"Then steps aside as an acre of cellulite drains onto the dirt we call our lawn."
Does it mean that the cellulite becomes dry and change to dirt?

Answer 1

It is imagery and figurative speech. The author is clearly trying to describe the poor quality of the direct environment where the protagonist lives. Since the sentence is incomplete, the implication is that after doing a certain action, one has to step aside to avoid the stream of greasy water pouring on the miserable patch of grass which constitutes the garden. It sounds as if the preceding sentence was something like "After pulling the plug in the sink..." or "after unblocking a drain". It could even be the people living higher in the building releasing their dirty water...and no, I do not think it is a matter of the grease drying and changing to dirt. It is more likely to be that it changes the lawn to a horrible greasy quagmire and that there is no proper sewer to take away dirty water.

Answer 3

Cellulite could be used to denote anything undesirable in the body, or anywhere for that matter. Since we do not have enough context, I would assume the cellulite in this sentence means waste.

If you can have more text, it would be easier to analyze.

Answer 4

No it means that the lawn is very bad lawn. We would need more information from the story as to what they mean by cellulite here but I am assuming that it is fat.

Answer 5

Not an expression commonly used in Britain. "Blowing a fuse" way getting very angry, so in all likelihood 'come off' in that context manner 'get matters wrong'. The entire phrase very likely asks what areas of labor and many others make him upset.

Answer 6

That's a weird one, because cellulite means fat. Do you have more context?

Answer 7

wtf?!
