I know many a Taffy who may feel this is presumptuous behaviour...

Speak for your own Taffy, sir! [evil-grin e ] you knew this thread had to get around to this sort of innuendo sooner or later, didn't you?

okay mav, here are three possibilities:
1) from trapshooting - PULL! [darn! that was too quick!]
b) from pulling of strings and wires, hence an illicit trick or manipulation
iii) having a quick wank

caution: wank-related material...but linguistically relevant

>iii) having a quick wank<

Also commonly referred to as "pulling your meat."

...on a purely word-related note, many of USns owe it to this board (I admit having learned this term at an awfully young and innocent age) that we even know what wank or wanker is. Not that any of y'all are the latter or anything, but.

an aside:

Stan Mayslack was a local (and loco) pro-wrestler, back in the 50s. When he retired, he took over a local pub and renamed it "Mayslack's Polka Lounge". It was actually more well known for the lunchtime special: "world famous GARLIC roast beef" sandwiches. Burly Stan himself would stand in the serving line, glopping the au jus delicacy onto a double paper plate. Directly over his head, a sign read, "You can't beat Mayslack's meat!" Indeed.
