    Oh, and 300 calls from people who knew who Rocco Siffredi was? I call bullshit.
    Unless Howard Stern put them up to it.

    I have seen (and edited) MANY stories using the phrase "shot/blew their/our wad" as part of game quotes -- and some in the body copy.

    Instead of calling someone a douchebag, I just refer to them as a D-Bagger Vance

    That's one of those things that sounds dirty but really isn't (like rode hard and put away wet). It's a reference to old muzzle-loader guns, which actually shot a "wad" to propel the bullets out.

    Yeah, I know the ancient origin of the phrase, but it hasn't been used in that context in 150-some years. For anyone alive in the last two centuries, it means ... well, you know what it means.
