have the meats

A more cultured way of saying that a business (usually a chain) carries products of good quality under the category they specialize in. Taken from fast food chain Arby’s slogan: “we have the meats”. Can also be “had” or “has” depending on sentence being in past, present, or future tense.

“Don’t get me a gift card to Home Depot. Get me one to Lowe’s instead, because Lowe’s has the meats.”

“I think we can all agree that Arby’s does NOT have the meats, unless we’re talking about their roast beef.”

“Blockbuster had the meats back in the day. It’s really sad that they closed down.”
