"Rusted gun of Milan"

TheoGB [Edit] [Delete] 18 replies 14:46, 8 February '08

I am moved to assumed Eddie refers to his anus in this song. But is there a nicer explanation?

  • I THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS COCK

    I.E RUSTY FROM LACK OF USE

  • So the lyrics

    I doesn't mean that I don't love you
    One more try with me above you
    It's got nothing to do with anything I had to drink
    It's more to do with the way I think

    Don't say Brewers Droop to you? No? Weirdo.

    • Of course

      My point was where the line comes in:

      I know I can, I know I can
      I'm fine when I am with my own hands

      Never used my rusted gun of Milan

      i.e. stuck a finger up his own arse?

      • So yes, the phrase particularly, not the entire song, you momo

      • Sorry?

          • 'spankemon' I mean

            I understand what the song's about. It's patently obvious.

            But what does the PHRASE 'rusted gun of Milan' mean?

            TheoGB @Slicky | 8 Feb '08, 14:56 | X
            • I like that

              :D

            • I thought it was just a

              name for his penis

              like 'with my trusty sword/lethal length/etc etc'

              Slicky @TheoGB | 8 Feb '08, 15:00 | X
              • I know someone who named his penis

                'General Penichet'

                TheSoundofBastards @Slicky | 8 Feb '08, 15:01 | X
                • You 'knew' 'someone', eh?

                  TheoGB @TheSoundofBastards | 8 Feb '08, 15:02 | X
              • Oh right

                I guess. I think I assumed it referred to the lines above it rather than a reflection on the entire incident, then...

                TheoGB @Slicky | 8 Feb '08, 15:02 | X
          • I'm struggling to understand how someone can not be getting this...

            bamos @Slicky | 8 Feb '08, 14:58 | X
            • Okay.

              So how come that phrase means that? Honestly I've never heard it prior to that song and, well, the etymology isn't immediately clear.
