The original quote, with slang
Angela: I'm serious. He just pulled down his pants and yanked it out. You know, like, "Say hello to Mr. Happy."
Playground Girl #1: Gross.
Angela: It wasn't gross. It was kinda cool.
Playground Girl #1: So did you do it with him?
Angela: Of course I did. He's like a really well known photographer. He shoots for "Elle" on like a regular basis. It would have been so majorly stupid of me to turn him down.
Playground Girl #2: You are a total prostitute.
Angela: Hey! That's how things really are. You just don't know 'cause you're this pampered little suburban chick.
Playground Girl #2: So are you. You've only been in "Seventeen" once and you looked fat! So stop acting like you're goddamn Christy Turlington!
Angela: Cunt!
What does it mean?
Angela: I'm serious. He just pulled down his pants and showed me his penis. You know, as if to say, "Say hello to my penis."
Playground Girl #1: Disgusting.
Angela: It wasn't disgusting. It was kind of great.
Playground Girl #1: So did you have sex with him?
Angela: Of course I did. He's a really well known photographer. He takes photos for "Elle" on a regular basis. It would have been so incredibly stupid of me to refuse him.
Playground Girl #2: You are really a prostitute.
Angela: Hey! That's how things really are. You just don't know because you're this pampered little suburban girl.
Playground Girl #2: So are you. You've only been in "Seventeen" magazine once and you looked fat! So stop acting like you're as good as Christy Turlington!
Angela: Low female!
"cunt" also means a woman's vagina. It is extremely impolite.
