flogging the dolphin

this is an euphemism which originated from Boston, but has also been known to be used by people from Myrtle Beach & New York. It describes the act of furiously masturbating, but describing it in a more respectful way to not lower the tone unnecessarily. For example it could be used on a podcast to avoid using vulgar language if children (of all ages) were listening.
