I just lost my virginity in a confessional booth! Lord have mercy!
— Detroit Rock City • 1999
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker announces a sexual first inside a confessional booth and follows it with an appeal for mercy. The location and final exclamation bring religious language into immediate contact with the sexual announcement. That collision gives the line its startled, irreverent comic force.
