horses and bayonets

Barack Obama's flippant reponse to Mitt Romney's complaint during their third televised debate (October 22, 2012) that the U.S. Navy had fewer battleships than at any time since 1917. Obama's remark that the military has fewer "horses and bayonets, too" makes an analogy that measuring battleships (as opposed to aircraft carriers) is an archaic metric of military power, in much the same way that measuring "horses and bayonets" would no longer indicate an army's might. (NB: Marines are still issued bayonets.)

"The Navy has fewer battleships than at any time since 1917."

"The military has fewer horses and bayonets, too. We live in a different world."

jack off

Same as "jerk off" (masturbate); also used as a noun to reference a feckless, no-account person, usu. male.

Up until the 1980s, "jack off" was considered more a Southern (USA) locution than "jerk off," which was considered more urban and Northeastern/Midwestern states. Considerable swapping around has taken place in the meantime, probably because of increased social mobility and relaxed codes of censorship.

.
1)...All little Timmy can talk about is sex. If I weren't so polite, I'd have told him to go get laid, or to jack off in a corner...

2)...'If y'all boys didn't jack off so much, you might amount to something.'... (closet-case coach to members of the high-school basketball team in 1971 movie THE LAST PICTURE SHOW).

mercy fuck

The recipient of sex given to him/her by someone who would normally consider that person beneath him/her, or otherwise sexually undesirable.

In Woody Allen's movie CELEBRITY, the Kenneth Branagh character gets tossed a mercy fuck by the starlet played by Melanie Griffith; they both knew there would be no second act, that it was a unique occurrence.

If someone hot wanted to go to bed with you, and you thought they were just doing it as a mercy fuck, would you go ahead and enjoy it, or would pride get in the way?

There is very little difference between a mercy fuck and a pity fuck, but they are not the same as a sympathy fuck, which has more to do with make-up sex. Mercy fuck is more like winning the sex lottery.

money shot

A deliberate and deliberately visible cumshot performed for (hardcore) pornography. The money shot almost always involves male ejaculation on his partner's body:

1. In heterosexual porn, ejaculation might take place on the woman's face, breasts, or on her back or (especially at the climax of anal sex) butt crevasse;

2. In gay porn, at the climax of intercourse, ejaculation might take place on the other man's face or chest (especially when the "top" masturbates himself a good deal); but when the video or photo is given over to anal intercourse, more often than not ejaculation takes place on the small of the bottom's back, very close to the entry and exit point of such anal intercourse.

In both cases the money shot, no matter how unrealistic in terms of how actual people climax their sex, is a staple of the genre because it shows the male (or "top") getting his satisfaction; otherwise, how could we tell?

Also called "splatter shot".

.
"I saw a nice Brazilian gay porn flick yesterday. Such beautiful guys, who the vid says are lovers in real life."

"Was there a money shot?"

"Sure there was. Top cummed on bottom's back, just like you'd expect."
