Ratner was asked about rehearsals (for the film “Tower Heist,” featuring Murphy among others), and he joked dismissively, “Rehearsals?! Rehearsals are for f*gs.”
He obviously did not mean homosexuals. He meant “for the weak.”
I grant you, it was not something I would say these days. If I wanted to be a bit profane without being PC, I might have said, “Rehearsals are for p*ssies” or “wimps.”
