FW: slang from Punk Magazine

[Mullins, Bill]

I've heard flogging your bishop, and flogging your dog, but never
doggin.

Also:  put a helmet on the soldier, polish the pope, get the German
soldier  marching.

Interesting that just as perhaps "doggin" is nonsense to rhyme with
"floggin," "flong" may be nonsense (unless it is otherwise attested)
to rhyme with the well-known "dong" in "flong your dong."
