"playing with the bishop's nephew" is the act of masturbating while taking a shit in public. in modern usage the term also covers the act of masturbating while shitting in private, however the public aspect of the activity is of no small importance.

ronny: "ah nothin', just hangin' at the crib."

derek: "well, you wouldn't believe what happened to me today- so i was up at colombus circle waiting for the bus, just playing with the bishop's nephew, and next thing you know this bitch starts flippin' out."

Ted- "Shut the bagpipes up!"

Robin- "They're still playing the bagpipes!"

Playing pool with a piece of rope

When you are trying to have sex with a girl but are far too drunk to get a full hard on or even a three quarter.

Man A: How did you get on with that girl last night?

Man B: To be honest mate I was so lashed it was like playing pool with a piece of rope.

playing doctor

Toddlers explore their own and each others' genitals.

They call this game "playing doctor", probably since at the doctor they've had routine examinations of their private parts.

Adults use the phrase as a "cutesy" way to say "sex".

"Man you look tired!"

"Yeah Robin and I were up all night playing doctor."
