play pocket pool

This term meaning "masturbate" was deleted before as sum of parts, but it does not seem sum of parts to me. We do have pocket pool as "masturbation", but that does not make "play pocket pool" seem sum of parts to me. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

It's true that you have to understand it in the sense of the game, as well as in the figurative sense of masturbation, e.g. the word "game" in this example from Google Books: "Even the trace of moisture from his lips struck me as erotic, and I had to play a quick game of pocket pool to avoid public embarrassment." I'm not sure how we can document that comprehensively; it is probably best done with notes in the entry, rather than creating all such forms. Equinox ◑ 19:51, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

BTW, is this only used for male masturbation? I'd assume so, because pocket pool suggests balls moving around! Equinox ◑ 20:38, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

I know someone who called it pocket billiard juggling. Renard Migrant (talk) 20:41, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

TMI, Renard. Anywho, redirect to pocket pool. Purplebackpack89 15:06, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

• Redirected: There's not a single "keep" or "delete" vote here, and nobody's discussed this in more than 2 months. The only action supported by the participants in this discussion seems to be redirect. Purplebackpack89 17:50, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

  My error in stance indication: I actually prefer full keep rather than a redirect, especially since this does not seem to be a sum of parts term. Full keeping enables entry of synonyms. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:55, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
