idiom

 a notch on the/SB's bedpost

this line is uttered with high emotions by this Greek old woman. Movie: Mama Mia Here We Go Again.

as in: having so many notches on his bed post that his bed fell down

To an ordinary moviegoer, the line would instruct him to remember an image of a bed. BUT to a moviegoer who is fond of collecting idioms, the line is a complete riot; a total category of sexual innuendos. 

its meaning: A casual sexual partner, especially a one- night stand, counted as a tally in the overall number of someone's sexual partners. ( https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/notch+on+someone%27s+bedpost)

meaning #2 FROM dictionary.cambridge.org

someone that a person has sex with, not because they want a serious relationship, but because they want to have sex with as many people as possible: 

She's not prepared to be just another notch on the bedpost.

feeling diaristic

diary #1 my phone. bada bing! it died. there was some numeric command in an ominous dark background. after a few seconds, the background turned light green or was it bluish green. the problem could have been fixed right away, had i seriously read the fine prints. volume down button plus power button. the above nightmare gave me an invaluable lesson.
