disco stick

Popularized by a lyric in the 2008 song "LoveGame" by Lady Gaga: "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick / I wanna take a ride on your disco stick." Gaga explained how she coined the term in a Rolling Stone interview: "It's another of my very thoughtful metaphors for a cock. I was at a nightclub, and I had quite a sexual crush on somebody, and I said to them, 'I wanna ride on your disco stick'."

But Frankie still gave him the condom. "That I know. What I don't know is where your disco stick has been."

baby batter

Because semen can fertilize ova, resulting in pregnancy and subsequently the birth of a baby; it also has approximately the color and consistency of pancake batter.

Another look at butch, beautiful, bareass, bronze-tanned Hank, a silent direction, and the hot number I'd just made baby batter with, leaped onto the bed, burrowed his tousled head in my crotch, and started sucking hot and hungry at my loins.

I could ride around some and listen to country music songs about drinking and cheating and losing love and finding it, since it looked like I wasn't going to be pumping any red-hot baby batter into my own favorite womb any time soon.

If the idea of a kid who shares genes with you running around somewhere doesn't freak you out, then by all means, sell your baby batter to a sperm bank.
