I'm sure that most are aware that Fleshlight is a  brand name. Brand of

Yes, well...wait until I've had  my Scotch.

Well, I wasn't...
Anyway, first tried the OED to no avail, which may confirm McCreery's point  
that it _is_ behind the times. They still refuse to have an entry for 'f*ck',  
interesting etymological doubts notwithstanding. Anyway, I was appalled by 
the  very first sentence in the wiki entry for 'fleshlight':

>The  Fleshlight (also marketed as the Fleshjack) is a sex toy 
>designed for use by males. 
 
As McCreery would say, _intelligent_ design.
I don't take it that it was designed _by_ males, though.
 
Oddly, David ('not the Madonna offspring') Ritchie's repartee flashes light  
anew now:
 
>What's anyone in Britain doing with ... fleshlights?  
>Get  a bloomin' torch is my advice.

Geary will explain if this app are compatible. 
 
Cheers,
