Stroke the shaft, cup the balls

Actor Sylvester Stalone's instructions to a young female production assistant.

Common phrase used casually (by crew mostly) in the Vancouver film community. Derived from the true story of once during the filming of a Sylvester Stalone movie in Vancouver, Stalone went to his trailer for a break during production. He invited a young inexperienced female production assistant, and subsequently forgot to turn off his hidden microphone. (hidden microphones are attached to an actors body and use a battery pack to transmit recorded audio. They are used to record actor dialogue in scenes where boom mics are inappropriate ie, high motion scenes)

Realizing Stalone forgot to turn his microphone off, a sound engineer for the movie broadcasted the live feed from the mic over a set of speakers outside the trailer for the entire production crew to hear. As the legend goes, the first audible words to come from the speakers were "oh yea, stroke the shaft cup the balls". True story.
"Stroke the shaft, cup the balls" - Sylvester Stalone
1. Originating in Old Europe during the Middle Ages, where burial space was often in short supply throughout many communities. To maximize use of space in many cemetaries, the dead were often buried in a 6 foot vertical shaft, rather than the usual horizontal grave position. The vertical position was considered less socially respectable. Thereafter the term began to mean poor treatment given to someone in such a way that demeans him or affirms second hand status as a citizen.

In communities that had active, but hidden, homosexual communities, the phrase took on a second meaning in double entendre, referring to the humiliating prospect of having to bend over, grab one's ankles, and recieve painful anal intercourse from someone who is overly aggressive and abusive.
When they fired Bob, they gave him the shaft.
