- get one's rocks off
- vbto obtain sexual satisfaction, achieve orgasm, ejaculate. An American vulgarism which became part of the hippy lin-guistic repertoire; someBritish users of the expression are unaware that rocks is a direct euphemism for testicles. (In American usage nuts or other terms could be substituted for rocks.) In the later 1970s the phrase was extended to mean to indulge oneself or enjoy oneself generally rather than in a specifically sex-ual sense. It now sounds dated.► But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming.' (Lyric from 'Rocks Off', The Rolling Stones, 1972)
