Bleed the lizard

***WARNING*** THIS SECTION IS NOT DEALING WITH SOUTHERNISMS BUT SOUTHWESTISMS OF DONALD BLACK

I shuld warn this un is a little crass. All the Southern Belles may want to go on to the next un.

The male counterpart to the women going to the chic sales (powder her nose) has many forms. Here's Black's list

"bleed the lizard"
"ball the jack in his rod" (I have not ever heard this one and I am not sure I want to know where it comes from)
"drag the dobber in the dirt"
"shake the dew off the lily"
"dip his wick in the strange" (not heard this un ether)

What I have heard is
"go waterfall" (when I was a kid)
