Take away = no food left for kids you take care of My aunt had an au pair from I don't know where when my cousins were younger. She was a massive fat cunt. Sometimes my aunt told her to get some Chinese take away for dinner if she'd be late from work. Somehow the nearby Chinese restaurant became unreliable overnight, because everytime she came home, hammy would tell her that it was closed.  After some digging she found out that the obeast ate all the food herself. It's still a running gag in our family. Thin privilege is not eating a meal for 4 people before they come home.
