Masturbation technique

I reverted the reference to the masturbation technique (as others have done) as it is not notable and there is no corresponding article for the link (a redlink). I vaguely remember hearing about this usage in some movie (probably a Kevin Smith film), but without a reference, I'm guessing that it was a joke and not an actual masturbation practice. Please don't put this back unless you can point to an actual article or cite a reasonable source. -Orayzio 23:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Here it is directly referenced in an episode of Scrubs from 2006. "Here's some tips. If you can't get over the fact that you're doing it to yourself, sit on your arm until it falls asleep, then pull it out and use that. I call it "The Stranger.""

Don't know if this is worthy of inclusion anywhere, but the term "the stranger" or the "the strangers" is often used to refer to people outside of one's own culture (whether racial, ethnic, religious). It's generally used by a group whose cultural heritage is threatened, and the "strangers" referred to are usually unwelcome outsiders, a dominant group that seeks to overwhelm (and change) the original group's culture.

In the following verses of the Irish song Galway Bay, for example:

"Yet the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
And they scorned us just for bein' what we are..."

"The strangers" refers to the British.

And in the song "Sabbath Prayer" from Fiddler on the Roof:

"Strengthen them, Oh Lord, And keep them from the strangers' ways..."

The term refers to the non-Jewish citizens in the town (and probably the entire world). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.83.28.107 (talk) 06:06, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
