Translatihan

fr-en

J’imagine que dans le tas, il y a la maîtresse d’école qui lui a procuré ses premiers émois amoureux, son copain d’internat qui lui a appris comment s’astiquer le manche et l’amie de sa mère qui l’a dépucelé… Je déconne… Charles, l’homme politique, arrive, une tasse à la main.

I imagine that in the bunch, there's the schoolteacher who gave him his first stirrings of love, his boarding school friend who taught him how to jerk off, and his mother's friend who deflowered him... I'm kidding...
Charles, the politician, arrives, a cup in his hand.

Yes, I think so too, but I just thought your expression was good!

I think jerk off is more widely used.

I actually quite liked your expression 'polish his handle', Mark. I thought it quite clever and expressive and understood it to mean the same thing as 'jerk off' :))
