exactly what it says on the tin

Originally from advertising for Ronseal woodcare products this phrase was quickly picked up by the public and turned into a general purpose phrase meaning "the name describes exactly what it is". This must be one of the most successful advertising slogans of all time. Of course Ronseal have trademarked it!

Excalibur

The Excalibur is when you plunge your phallic sword into the butt of an unsuspecting damsel. In surprise, she clentches her quivering ass cheeks together, clamping your meat saber in the dark recesses of her "dragon's lair." Now, you must choose your destiny by pulling your sausage machete out of her butt jungle. If you can accomplish such a feat, you will become the king you were born to be. And then hoagie slap her with your shit-covered dick.
