crank one's hog

Crank one's hog is vulgar slang for male masturbation. Not appropriate in any non-private context. Worth a conversation about appropriate language if your teen uses it. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.

Crank one's hog is vulgar English slang for male masturbation. Use only in vulgar casual contexts; never in formal, professional, or mixed-company settings. Formal equivalent: "to masturbate" (formal medical term). Common non-native mistake: using in any non-private context. The phrase is crude and inappropriate in most settings. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
