It gets transferred to your laptop.

Or goes lap dancing. (Now if only it had a club to go to.)

So if your laptop goes lap dancing it's topless?

[Huguenot]

'Lap' actually refers to a loose strip of a garment - so your 'front' shirt tails, or the front of a pinafore or wrap-around skirt.

So your lap doesn't go anywhere when you stand up - it's right there where it always was...

Does that mean if I'm naked, you can't sit on my lap?

[Huguenot]

To be fair, there would probably be plenty of more important and somewhat disturbing reasons not to sit on your lap when you were naked.

I think Huge sitting on your lap would be definition number 3...

3. a place, environment, or situation of rest or nurture: the lap of luxury.
