Friends S1:EP7

1. The weirdest place would have to be the foot of the bed.

Basically Rachel is being depicted as a terribly boring person who has only had a really boring sex life. Her sex life up until that point consisted, apparently, of sex in a bed without any sexual adventures. She said “the foot of the bed” to imply that at one time, they had sex out of position, but still on the bed. It could mean they were still lying on the bed or maybe she was bent over the foot of the bed instead of lying on it. It isn’t really clear but what is clear is the point that Rachel’s sex life up until that point is boring, which leads us to the sexually exciting relationship with Paulo later in the episode. The comment was a setup.

There are multiple continuity errors with this later in the show, with flashbacks and stories that show Rachel being much more sexually adventurous in high school and college, while also showing her as being willing to try new things later without any hang-ups that would normally go with someone being that sexually repressed early on, but its a sit-com that isn’t exactly known for its accuracy and continuity. For example, there is a whole episode where Rachel goes to eat at restaurants alone because she likes it and then several seasons later Ross makes fun of her for, wait for it, her inability to eat at restaurants alone.

 2. Step back (phrasal v.)

to temporarily stop being involved in an activity or situation in order to think about it in a new way:

Let's just step back from the problem and think about what we could do.

3. overrated (adj.)

If something or someone is overrated, that person or thing is considered to be better or more important than they really are:

In my opinion, she's a hugely overrated singer.
