What is That'll Give You... Er... Bees?
1.
Taken from an embarrassing celebrity encounter with Tim Curry and fragrant soaps, the phrase "That'll give you... er... bees." has evolved to become a consoling response to embarrassing anecdotes. It can also be just "That'll give you bees" or simply "Bees"
Bob: And then they
depantsed me in front of the entire history faculty!
Amy: *Consoling nod* That'll give you bees.
John: I can't believe I just did that!
Matt: Bees, man, bees.
Shop attendant's mind: Those soaps are so fragrant, we sometimes get bees in the store thinking they're flowers.
Shop attendant's mouth: That'll give you... er... bees.
Tim Curry: Oh indeed.
