splooge
Language: English
Part of speech: verb
Pronunciation: ipa: /spluːd͡ʒ/
rhymes: -uːdʒ
Forms: form: splooges
form: splooging
form: splooged
form: splooged
Etymology: Onomatopoeic, from the ejection of a liquid. Compare with spooge, spoo, spooch.
The term is first attested isolatedly in sense 2 ("ejection", "ejaculation"), referring to a dripping mop, in a 1919 St. Nicholas issue (see quotations); it is used in Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange to represent the impact of a sudden, forceful, splashing blow; it also appears in a 1966 book as an onomatopoeia for the milking of a cow. The term was popularized in all its senses around late 1980s, as evidenced in two 1991 slang dictionaries.
Senses: examples: text: Why do I enjoy "having hot, smelly, sticky goo sprayed on [my] face?" Well, let's see... I like having sex with my partners... I like to see the cum that results from their excitement at being with me... I get to see _and_ taste it if he splooges _on my face_ rather than into my mouth closed around him or in various other locations on my body (all of which I also like, btw, I'm not a slave to facials)... it's playful and seems to turn on my partners just as much as it turns me on. Seems like plenty of reasons to enjoy it to me!

idle hands are the devil's workshop
Language: English
Part of speech: proverb
Forms: form: idle hands are the Devil's workshop
Etymology: This proverb is thought by some to originate from the Bible, the book of Proverbs chapter 16 verse 27 (Proverbs 16:27). Yet this is probably a misreading driven by an application of Protestant theological assumptions. The King James version of the verse refers only to ungodliness: An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
Only The Living Bible of 1971 injects the idea of idleness into its translation: Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece. (TLB also adds the literal translation: A worthless man devises mischief; and in his lips there is a scorching fire.)
Proverbs 16:27 may have inspired St. Jerome to write in the late 4th century: fac et aliquid operis, ut semper te diabolus inveniat occupatum, or “engage in some occupation, so that the devil may always find you busy.” This was later repeated by Chaucer in the Canterbury Tales, which was probably the source of its popularity.
Senses: glosses: One who is idle will likely come to do evil.
