When Hollywood wants to make yet another chick flick and doesn't want to pay for talent (why would you in a chick flick) Gere's name comes right up.
Director Hoib Goldbaum: "Say, lets make a movie with a mindless plot with shameless exploitation of every human emotion, depicting a lapdog husband under the control of a beautiful middle aged soccer mom who dresses well and has suspicously young children with fake southern accents."
Producer Sol Horowitz: "So you don't think Gere's already working?"
Goldbaum: "Working? Yeah, he's working with a gerbil!"
When a man saves a woman from her miserable life (due to having no money, a kid, being a whore, or all of the above) by taking her in and making her a normal person in return for sex (ie What Richard Gere did in Pretty Woman).
The placing of anything larger than a gerbil in ones anus for sexual pleasure. Examples of animals include: rabbits, cats or Labrador Retrievers (for the truly bold).
