A blunt, old-fashioned British euphemism for a man having sex — the kind of phrase that turns up in bawdy comedies, locker-room banter, and pub conversations among people who enjoy being deliberately crass. It's more comical than offensive, relying on obvious imagery and a certain wink-and-nudge energy. The phrase has been around long enough to feel almost quaint, but it still gets trotted out whenever someone wants to be coarse with a vintage flavour.

Origin: British slang with roots in crude metaphor; 'wick' as slang for the penis is found in British English at least since the mid-20th century. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
