No kidding. That term’s been around for at least 15 years, and in fairly common usage in some regions. I’m baffled that the OP’s never heard it before now. I think it’s a term that’s been used in some regions that is now getting national use?

I agree. I think genitals should be called “bling.”

I’m getting a whole new angle on Mike Milken when he started flogging junk bonds.  
I thought it was about high risk financing, now I’m thinking it was actually some sado-masochistic fetish?

If we don’t get it, can we still arrange for a Rancor ride? How much would it cost?

You’ve never lived until you’ve seen your middle-aged, short, [sub]_ahem_[/sub] chunky, female co-worker in scrubs dancing around the office while singing that song.

I hate that song.
