Fishing: (Verb) Try subtly or deviously to elicit a response or information from someone.

Hot-ass old lady piece of ass Helen Mirren is trying to downplay her hot-assedness after photos of her looking totally fly in a bikini hit the internet this past summer.

She says, "I am beyond bikini-wearing age. I wouldn't normally wear one. The truth is, I don't really look that good. It was just a flattering picture. I look like a woman in her 60s. I've always looked awful in a bikini-- even when I was young." (Source)

I don't know, sounds like a heaping pile of horseshit served up by a lady whose class and modesty is only outweighed by her smoking hot body. The only way we'll know for sure is if maybe she strips down again, preferably in a lace negligee and holding a whip. Because really, senior citizens just aren't objectified enough these days. She could literally be a pioneer for others to follow in her footsteps. Kind of like Bella Abzug, only for sexy old broads!
