Does that phrase mean the same as “Give your balls a tug”?

    Then maybe pick a prefix that isn’t synonymous with “beneath/lower” if that’s the idea you’re trying to get across.

      I’ll try to carefully use the short word for “substitute” a little better. I’d recommend learning all definitions of a word before you assume what people are saying

        Sub- as a prefix does not mean substitute, though. The word “substitute” is made with that prefix but it doesn’t represent it any more than “submarine”.

          So then beside what I told you, what if I meant “submarine-english”?
