Titolo: Morning Glory ¿

Una piccola curiosità: ma da cosa deriva il significato di "morning Glory"?
Il "morning glory" per chi non lo sapesse è quello che succede la mattina se 
vi risvegliate con una tenda tra le gambe (only for men, of course).
Ebbene mi stavo appunto chiedendo da cosa deriva questo accostamento?
Il "morning Glory" è anche qualcos'altro? 


forse dal fatto che l'uomo per natura si compiace quando si sveglia con
l'alzabandiera?
lol

A Morning Glory is a vining plant whose flowers open in the morning. They
are trumpet-shaped; softly colored, either pale blue or violet, and quite
delicate. I had some on my terrace this summer, but they are very
aggressive, and took all the space in the pot, so my nasturtiums didn't
come up.

The name is also used for a type of muffin, made with all sorts of
healthlful ingredients. "Morning Glory Muffin."
Although I've experienced the phenomenon you mention, (frequently, oh yeah)
I've never heard it called that before. Maybe it's a Brit thing?

I've never heard it called that either. "The Horn" is a phrase I know.

Never heard of it either, but it doesn't matter, since I am not a native
speaker of English.
Anyway, the expression exists. I found it on UK and US websites. Just
google up "morning glory"+erection and you'll find plenty of hits.
That "glory" made me thinking...
There are "glory holes" - FB DON'T LOOK IT UP AND DON'T USE

 TO VISUALIZE IT - so, maybe, one's Glory is one's
Standing Soldier. And, in ze morning, were the Cocky Private Dick salutes
ze flag, Glory is made. 
All hail the Glory.
