TV jokes that confuse me Scene 1: [Monica got a new bed in the shape of a racecar, and she and Phoebe are trying to persuade chandler that it’s just a regular bed so he won’t get too excited] Chandler: It's a racecar. Phoebe: So. This has always been Monica's bed, what you're just noticing now, how self-involved are you? Chandler: Okay, well it this bed isn't new, how come there is plastic on the mattress? Monica: 【Sometimes I have bad dreams】. (starts to break down, and Phoebe offers her hand to comfort her.) Scene2: Mr. Kaplan: (entering) How's that coffee comin,' dear? Rachel: Yeah, right away Mr. Kaplan. Mr. Kaplan: I'm not supposed to drink coffee, it makes me 【gassy】. Rachel: I know! Scene3: Joey: Since when do you roller blade? Phoebe: Oh! I met this really cute guy in the park and he like y'know, jogs, and blades, and swims, and so y'know we made a deal that's he's going to teach me all sorts of 【jock】 stuff. Ross: And what are you going to do for him? Phoebe: I'm going to 【let him】. Qs below...

all three are dirty jokes involving american slangs... 1: it insinuates that the plastic is to protect the mattress from being peed on when monica has bad dreams 2. gassy means inclined to fart here 3. jock means a kind of snobbish athletes / celebrities who love to take advantage of their fans, and "let him" here means to let him be a jock in front of her (shag her).

The context implies the 'bad dreams' likely lead to bed wetting, thus the plastic on the bed. Gassy definitely refers to a farting issue that Rachel is well aware of, having experienced it. I think the 'Jock stuff' implies things that require athletic ability (in this case, the inferred nuance is expertise/stamina in the bedroom). I say that because of how Phoebes character is portrayed on the show.

Q1 - not sure; maybe it's her saying something along the lines of... 'Sh... it's not going to work..' Q2 - 'gassy' = the dictionary says: Slang Bombastic or boastful (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gassy), or'inclined to be verbose' 'but my understanding would be 'flatulent' (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/gassy) Q3 - 'jock' = . Informal. a person who enjoys or is good at sports; athlete. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jock) 'I'm going to let him' -> let him teach her what he said he was going to teach her I hope this helps Jo.
