Get the A Clockwork Orangemug. A safe way of saying "Male Masturbation" in front of an anti-sex snowflake. It comes from the word "Cock-work".
Male 1: Sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting yesterday, I was so busy with clockwork that I forgot.
Male 2: Haha gotta love clockwork
Snowflake: Confused yet still acceptable to my terms of vocabulary use and it doesn't seem like it invades nor defies my restrictions of sexually-referenced wording.

Get the clockworkmug. When you force an unsuspecting victim's eyes open so you can make them watch something you like, but they don't.
Since Alex refused to watch Mean Girls, I realized that A Clockwork Oranging him was the only option.
