What did Jack Sparrow mean when he said "Clearly you've never been to Singapore"
After cutting Elizabeth's corset off in Pirates of the Caribbean, the guard comments "never would have thought of that." And Jack turns to him and delivers the line in question: "You've clearly never been to Singapore." What does he mean with that?
PS: this question was asked here but I don't agree with the implication that was being get at there.
Best Answer
Singapore, at that time, was one of the busiest ports in Asia. If not the busiest port. Pirates would have visited Singapore often. Also, prostitution is not illegal in Singapore. A prostitute wears something which makes them alluring, and a corset definitely fits that bill.
The inference is that Jack Sparrow had frequently been to Singapore, had experience with prostitutes and knew how to disrobe them.
