[Ads-l] "schlong", the verb -- not in OED

[W Brewer]

JB: << The meaning familiar to me has always been "dick"; ... familiar to
many New Yorkers, particularly adolescent males. [& JB's aunt.] >>
WB:  My contention is that <schlong> 'membrum virile' started out as a
shibboleth of "very limited formal & semantic extent in the Anglosphere",
with gradual spreading out therefrom, with explosive global spread only
within the past few days; because of a lack of flexibility in
interpretation beyond the original, and because men & women have totally
different senses of humor, and never the twain shall meet. Men's talk is
never meant for women's ears. Repeal the First Amendment, too?
