The sentence "taking you out to a burger king" is just a coded way of saying it will either be an attempted kidnapping. Or worse

Get the Burger King Datemug. Someone (usually a celebrity), who drops spoilers and hints to their fanbase without people realising they were being spoiled. Only in hindsight, it becomes clear that placement of objects, melodies hummed etc. were spoilers. A true spoiler king.

Get the banana kingmug. Noun.
Historical definition:
During the Napoleonic wars, due to the lack of able seamen, sailors were recruited (press-ganged) by being paid a sign up fee - 1 King's Shilling.
Reluctant conscripts would be approached by one or more 'recruiters' who would ply them with alcohol until they were totally drunk. They would then hit them over the head with a 'cudgel' and place a King's Shilling in the drunkard's pocket. The inebriate would then be carried on board where they were woken up and convinced that they had joined in good faith. Any argument against the join would be discredited by the discovery of the King's Shilling.
Modern Usage
Discreet gay proposition.
