Jewish Junk
(5)
I opted out of the whiskey just recently and ate supper while I watched The Evening News. It's over now, but one phrase sticks with me: 'Don't touch my junk.' The word 'junk' refers to genitalia in this context, of course. We all know that. But why would a young male person refer to his genitalia as 'junk' unless he felt contempt for that thing hanging between his legs? I have never thought of my genitalia as 'junk.' Why, 'junk?'
My guess is that the young man was circumcised in the Jewish manner and was expressing contempt for his current situation - perhaps without realizing it. His genitalia was mutilated 'junk.' Jewish junk.
Nighty night!
