Asphyxiate the poultry

Choking the chicken, a.k.a. mastuerbating, beating your meat like it owes you money.
There's a girl in class that's so hot that I have to take a bathroom break and asphyxiate the poultry just so I can stop staring at her and pay attention in class.

Asphyxiate the Unicorn 

Just another thing to call masturbation. I guess there are just never enough ways to say it.
Larry's daughter was upset when he said he wanted to asphyxiate the unicorn, as she loved unicorns. She was more upset when she realized what he meant, and he started doing it front of her while playing xbox.
