English question

[druffine]

My colleague has a calender in his room and everyday there is a new thing to learn about English as a language on.

Today's hint is:

Kaspar was really worried about the joint his elderly neighbour had invited him to on Sunday. Might he have misunderstood something?

The calender explains that: no, that old Lady does not want to smoke some pot with him but she's going to make him a nice piece of meat to eat.

Question is, does anybody talk like that? Do you invite someone over to a joint in a non-drug-y way?

Thanks for the help.

That sentence is confusing. I've heard the phrases beer joint and juke joint but I've never heard a gathering like the sentence suggests referred to as any kind of joint.

I suppose you could call a piece of meat a 'joint' but....I've never heard it used that way in connection with a barbecue.

Hm, they really messed up the phrasing. I mean, I don't say: Hm, I'm really worried about the pizza my mom invited me to on Sunday. That sounds weird - independent from the content actually. LOL.
