"Beating Your Root"

[+ Avalon]

I had not heard that expression before for masturbation.

 

I've been watching the series "Yellowstone" on the Paramount Network. A former female stripper has been hired as a cowhand. She is staying in the bunkhouse with the cowboys. She said that if she woke up and saw any of them "beating your root" that she'd cut it off.

 

When I googled it I could not find the expression.

It's funny the things we learn from TV, lol. I had never heard the phrase "walking the dog" until Dawson's Creek lol.

 

Seinfeld got away with some fun euphemisms too - not only was there "master of my domain" (meaning one had control over one's urges to masturbate), but there was the episode where one of George's girlfriends walks out on him, and he says, in dismay, "but I had hand" (meaning having the upper hand in the relationship), to which her exit line is, "and you're gonna need it."
