I'm still trying to figure out how williamyard got in on that conference call...

Pinch my squid?

That's gotta be some sort of filthy British slang.  Pinch ya squid, guv'ner?

'Governor Spitzer, we told you that we'd call if we needed you."

Proof that eBay guy doesn't play favorites.

Somebody check urban dictionary for "pinch my squid". It's blocked at my workplace.

VC - no "pinch my squid" but I did find this:

1. Squid In A Blanket

Quite literally, a squid wrapped in a blanket.

"Who left this squid in a blanket in my dorm?"

In any case, this whole thing is an oyster carnival.*

*No one will catch this reference.

A google search for "pinch my squid" comes up with exactly one hit: this blog entry.  

P.S. Hilarious, adaglas.  I literally laughed out loud.  

virginiacentrist, no entry exists for "pinch my squid" or "pinch the squid." I did find one entry for "squid" referring to what this fella was using it to mean, but it had only 5 thumbs up and 35 thumbs down.

At least they didn't ask for a glass boat. (not safe for work!!!)

Well, I've taken steps to remedy the situation.  I have submitted "Pinch My Squid" as such:

1. Pinch My Squid

To masturbate, especially while listening in on a conference call.

“Do you think she could talk sexy so I can pinch my squid?"

Once the Urban Dictionary editors review it (do they even bother?  Judging by most of the entries, I would say "no") you should be able to find it.  When you're not at work, that is.

An invaluable contribution to the cultural lexicon, bcbaird.  The Anglophone world thanks you.

Ratner: Consider it quid pro quo (squid pro quo?) for your observation on the Justice Dept. earlier.

Little Willie: "I resemble that remark!"

What this cries out for is a sequel to "Portnoy's Complaint" for people who have renounced red meat.

Mae West: "Is that a sea cucumber in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

Meanwhile (I am not making this up) a few weeks ago the Sonoma Hooker bought me, as a move-in present for my new place, a liquid hand soap dispenser in the shape of...a squid! ("Squid Soap"; apparently Safeway sells 'em).  The soap inside, however, doesn't seem to clean that well, for some reason.

"Squid" is blocked at your workplace?

Gee. Things are worse than I thought...

Also, fyi, only hardcore squid pinchers use squid pincers.

What happens if you pinch your squid while you're jumping the shark?

I beleive adaglas refers to the famous London transaction _squid pro quid_

bcbaird,

Oyster carnival: hilarious.

London:  Home of the World's Cheapest Calamari.  

Not one of the City's better known claims to fame, but yummy nonetheless.

I always thought "oyster carnival" was slang for emphysema.

williamyard:  Play your cods right and you may find out.

I would argue about this, but it's no time to carp.

Ah, yes.  Those Clintons always titillate.

My this thread has certainly floundered.

"While he pinched his squid, she poached her red snapper..."

". . . Happy and sated

For the first time since they dated

She smiled and put it back in its wrapper . . . "

Even better, she was willing to take it in the halibut.

Whether "pinch my squid" was in the language when this guy called in, it's clearly in the language now.  

They obviously figured out what he meant in context.  Or else, they just had dirty minds.

Muhahaha.  It worked.  See:
