UD: (2005) _do the thing_ = "have sex"; (2007) _stinky leg_ = "penis"

In '50's Saint Louis,

_do the thing_ meant
.
"get married."

Heard on Maury:

A woman explains why she had a second baby by a man who had already
denied that he was her first baby daddy.

"I *love* to

_do the stinky leg_!"

In context,

"have sex,"

very likely.
