Would anyone in the UK know what "greens" are? Being from the south I've always assumed this term was a southern US thing. When I see greens referred to in cooking shows they call them turnip greens or whatever. Never "greens." This indicates to me the DM did talk to someone from the south at the very least.
To me (in the UK) greens means 'green veggies' - "eat your greens" = eat your peas, broccoli, cabbage etc. But it is said as just meaning "eat your veggies" too.
I took it to mean "he ate his veggies like a good boy"
ETA: I meant to add no it's not something in the UK we commonly say, we would say 'veggies' or 'veg' as slang for vegetables, not 'greens' Greens is specific to green veg.
Did that make any sense? Lol
