pear shaped

A term meaning "to go to hell in handbasket" or "when the shit hits the fan." Reportedly of British or Cockney origin, from the Royal Air Force's description of circular flight paths gone awry, or "pear-shaped."

Also may relate to a popular French Revolution caricature of "citizen King" Louis-Philippe, drawn by Honore Daumier and Charles Philipon in 1832 as a jowly pear. The French term "poire," or pear, was slang for "fool" or "idiot" - and soon thereafter, all caricatures of the King were banned, pear-shaped or not.
"To say that it all goes pear-shaped is an under statement. The reactors go out of control and quickly the effort is not to save the plant, but to minimise the effects."

Pear Harvesting

Men are like pears. There is only a small window of time when they are ripe for a relationship. And like pears, most of the ones you pick will either be not ready or rotten.

tickling the pear

Euphemism for mastubation. Orginated in the Harry Potter fandom. It comes from the fact that to gain entrance into the school kitchens, one must tickle the pair on a painting of fruit guarding the entrance. Hermione Granger learns this when the Weasley twins let the secret slip.
Harry bit his lip, trying not to let a whimper escape as he tickled his pear, fantasizing desperately about Dobby the House-elf.

pear shaped

Quite often people's shapes, are compared to fruits, like pear, melon, or banana shaped.
The only shape that has no fruit connected to it is the hourglass shape.

Body parts like breasts can be compared to shapes too:
Melons (full and round), pear shaped (half full, most people have this), pointy (where the nipple sticks out), hangtits (hanging banana's), or flats (no tits)
Yeah, you have something there that men love! Just go for it, and have fun tonight!
