Copulation: Euphemism's and Musical Origins of:

Kettleson

I have been advised that "The Theme From Shaft" was responsible for introducing the term "Shaft" as a euphemism for copulation to everyday use.

Can you suggest other musical sources as the origins of other vernacular euphemisms?

Provide links where possible.

Oh, there mustn't be any so. Such a disappointment:(

Shaft is not a euphemism for copulation. How many men say to their partners 'Do you want a good shafting?'

You have been advised wrong.
The wooden shafts of manual labour tools have been compared to penises for hundreds of years........... long before the "black private dick... That's a sex machine to all the chicks" came along.

You would therefore shaft someone with your shaft.

Little known fact but Sherlock Holmes was named after the Victorian equivalent of the rimming known as Holmesing.

Backs up this story..........

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have solved another case. Afterwards, they celebrate with a few brandies at their Baker St. residence. Holmes, feeling the brandy, reaches over and puts his hand on Watson's knee.

"Watson, for some time I've wanted to tell you that I quite fancy you."

With a sense of relief Dr. Watson replies, "And I you, my good Holmes. I've simply never felt comfortable expressing my feelings without knowing where you stood on the matter."

"Right", says Holmes, "Let us retire to the bedroom then."

Watson rushes to the bedroom and strips to his shorts. Holmes pulls down Watson's underwear, bends him over the desk then tells him to hold that pose. Complying, Watson watches as Holmes leaves the bedroom and returns with a lemon meringue pie. He smears the pie across Watson's ass and proceeds to bugger him. Later they're lying in bed making small talk. Watson says, "That was fantastic Holmes, but I have to ask; what was all that with the pie?"

"Lemon-entry my dear Watson, lemon-entry."

Never heard of it. It's usually a good porking or balling that is used.

Where To

Flutes are called flutes because of the high pitched noise they make when they are chopped up and burned.

I'm pretty sure I've heard that used but I thought it came from the fact that shaft is another word for dick.

In 1998, Neil Finn singer and guitarist with Crowded House released his solo debut album "Try Whistling This". Any connection?
