play the violin

**TW: self-harm**

Another way of saying you will "slit your wrist". To understand, hold a "playing the violin" position with your arms/hands. Now, picture the position without the violin and instead of the bow used to play the instrument, picture yourself holding something sharp with the other hand.

This saying was created after watching a scene from the movie, "Gerald's Game" where the main character "Jessie" cuts an incision up "her wrist and into her palm, then forcing her hand down through the cuff as the skin peels upward like a latex glove coming off."

when you've been so used to saying "I want to kill myself" (which might worry whoever you're talking to), you can instead say "I want to play the violin" or "I'm gonna go play the violin"

when you see something that makes you want to commit death, you'd say "This makes me want to play the violin"

Playing the violin

Inserting the middle and ring finger into the vagina and massaging the g spot with rapid vigorous motion to guarantee a nice squirt squirt aka down syndrome of the vagina

I went over to my chicks house and was playing the violin until she squirted all over my face

Playing the Arm Violin

Cutting one's wrists or arms. An arm violinist is one who takes part in this activity.

Girl One: Hey have you talked to Kayla lately? Stephan cheated on her and they broke up.

Girl Two: Oh yeah, she's a mess. She's taken up playing the arm violin. It's quite sad.

The Suicidal Violin

The act of jerking one’s penis while simultaneously cutting one’s wrist like a violin.

Ben was so depressed and horny last night, he began to play the suicidal violin.

Playing the Quarter Sized Violin

A euphemism for male masturbation. The humor in this euphemism comes from the fact that a quarter sized violin is roughly six inches (the length of a typical erect penis). Violin's are also "hard", "made of wood", and require careful "fingering". Vibrato (a common ornamental technique that requires a rapid back and forth movement of the hand along the neck of the instrument) could also be given new significance in the context of this metaphor.

Yeah, I accidentally walked in on Derek playing the quarter sized violin if you catch my drift.
