A slang-term indicating the use of one'
s tongue and lips to lick, suck, and penetrate one'
s anus for the purposes of sexual stimulation: The term originated in prisons during the late 1970'
s or early 1980'
s and was derived from the fact that salad dressing was often used to help suppress the taste. Other condiments such as grape-jelly, maple-syrup, and ketchup have also been used for this purpose as well.
The expression became famous due to the statements of a prison inmate in an HBO special titled: "Prisoners of the War on
Drugs", and a joke by Chris Rock based on the HBO special.
First of all, right, if hes a new comer, right, I want him to suck my
ass with jelly, what they call "tossing the salad" -- thats the slang word: "tossing salad" -- it means sucking my
ass, right, with jelly or without jelly. Some people use syrup, I prefer for the
guy to use jelly, right. I will reach my climate, right, I will automatically get hard right. I will, you know, come automatically if hes sucking my
ass for about ten minutes or longer. Its a sensation/feeling and it makes you feel real good. Most all gays do that, you know what Im saying? Like guys to suck their
ass. Its just like a pussy, right, but the only different is its not a pussy, right. It'
s clean, the person is decent, and the person knows that thats a
asshole but in they mind they're lookin' at it like a pussy because hes in prison. So, toss my salad, and let him eat me, you know, and we straight. Thats it.
