Sex in Muzzle Loading Terminology?

My wife thought "ball bag" was funny. She didn't know what the heck I was talking about. lol

I always wanted to get a bumper sticker;
``"Muzzleloaders"
"Really pack a load"

Especially since Buffalo scrotum was a common ball bag

Why would anyone try "correcting" it?

No matter how old we are, there is still a 14 year old boy that lives inside all of us.

Marplot, you're a breath of fresh air for sure. Over the years posts like " How do I clean my balls ?" and " How to fix a stiff cock ? ", etc. have popped up and we turn back into that 14 year old boy.

That one always gets my girlfriend giggling

ball bag even gets my puritanical bride to giggle.

The word "pistol" actually came from the Italian town of Pistoia! A relatively small town, but supposedly where the little, hand held gun, the pistol, was first made! Seems there was a fellow named Vitelli who first created these hand held guns! But I was on my honeymoon with a very fetching girl (then), so I might be wrong!

Front stuffers. Now there’s one that can go downhill in a hurry nowadays.

Recently I told my wife I needed a nipple wrench. Hilarity ensued.

Yep, that and a ball bag. I still catch grief from those.

I dropped my load then bent my rod because I didn't have enough lube when trying to ram my balls home.

I did have a bumper sticker that said it took real balls to be a muzzleloader

Wife is already cackling about ML terminology. Cock, half-cock, full cock, of course Ramrod, ball, patching a ball, ball size, lube in a variety of kinds - Bore butter, toilet bowl cleaner, "one hole" patterns, strippers, -- got any more?

Any of your wives and "significant others" also laughing? Keep it clean, please! Family forum, here.

Perhaps she should think that the terms that she finds amusing were in guns first and sex later.

A variation shows up in graffiti in Pompey
But you may be right that pistols were made there
But think on the origin of a name like Pistoia

Stuck ball puller and nipple wrench have always been suspect...

Yes, but I’m thinking sexual connotations are nothing new.
The armor or groin closure was a cod piece. There was no doubt about what a man’s ‘cod’ was
Pistol was drawn from slang that predates guns. Mast or spar and cover all were sexual slangs
You stick your knife in a sheath, but sheath in Latin wasn’t a place for a knife

A male horse has a sheath. He usually keeps his tool in his sheath unless he is using it.

'Cock' related terminology comes from observing a rooster, especially a dominant male, the 'cock of the walk', so producing all sorts of sexual innuendo. The cock, or hammer of a flintlock especially, looks very much like a rooster's head with the flint held in the beak. The curve of the neck of the hammer is functionally unnecessary (it would work just as well if straight) but reproduces the elegant lines of the head, neck, and chest of a rooster, especially in the round faced lock designs. 'Pecker' comes from the pecking action that cocks use when searching for food. Roosters (and all birds) are modern descendants of certain dinosaurs, so metaphors related to them probably originated in the paleolithic cultures.

Please stop!
