If I told you that you have a gorgeous figure would you hold it against me?

This is a flirtatious one-liner built on a pun: “hold it against me” can mean both “bear a grudge” and “press your body against mine.” It circulated as a joke by at least the mid-1940s and later became widely known through reprints and pop-culture reuse (including a similar phrasing used in a Monty Python sketch and echoed by the Bellamy Brothers’ 1979 song title).

The speaker offers a compliment as a pretext for playful, mildly risqué innuendo, implying that the listener might respond physically rather than just verbally.

Boy to beautiful girl, “If I told you that you have a gorgeous figure, would you hold it against me?”

“Honey, if I told you that you had a lovely shape, would you hold it against me?”

“If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?”
