In the novel, when narrator tells about his support group visits and the character Bob he met there. He says that Bob told him that he had a gym and appeared on t.v for chest expansion programme.Then he says and I quote:
"Strangers with this kind of honesty makes me go a big rubbery one, if you know what mean."
I honestly don't know what he means by that, "rubbery one". TIA
He's talking about a semi-erection. In other words, he responds positively to such strangers, up to a point.
