Forms: form: the Eiffel Tower
Etymology: Calque of French tour Eiffel. Named after its architect Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923). The sexual sense is based on a comparison of the steeple shape of the high-fiving arms to the shape of the building.
Senses: examples: text: If the Eiffel Tower were now representing the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle-knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; and anybody would perceive that that skin was what the tower was built for.
ref: c. 1909, Mark Twain [pseudonym; Samuel Langhorne Clemens], “Was the World Made for Man?”, in Bernard DeVoto, editor, Letters from the Earth, New York, N.Y.; Evanston, Ill.: Harper & Row, published 1962, →LCCN, pages 215–216:
text: I must say a word about the Eiffel Tower. I do not know what purpose it serves today. But I then heard it greatly disparaged as well as praised. I remember that Tolstoy was the chief among those who disparaged it. He said that the Eiffel Tower was a monument of man's folly, not of his wisdom. Tobacco, he argued, was the worst of all intoxicants, inasmuch as a man addicted to it was tempted to commit crimes which a drunkard never dared to do; liquor made a man mad, but tobacco clouded his intellect and made him build castles in the air. The Eiffel Tower was one of the creations of a man under such influence.

ref: 1998 July, Terrence Rogers, “City of vapor”, in American Artist, volume 62, number 672, page 28:
