Let's get some pussy!

No, actually, not.

Let's get some cock!

On the other hand, let's really also not.

Why do we say some pussy? Some cock? They're metaphors, sure. A kenning, I believe, is the term for that poetic device. Or synecdoche. Let me check. Synecdoche. Not kenning. It's a form of metynomy. Where something complex and abstract is called by one of its parts.

Like saying "Turn Back, Bright Eyes" instead of "Get over here, bitch!". It's implied that the bitch has bright eyes, and you expect her to turn her whole damned self, not just those bright eyes.

But "Let's get some pussy!" or "Would you like some dick?" (as Chris Rock says in a comedic routine that lays bare one of the great truths of male/female interaction) is confusing. It's understood that pussy or cock is referring to the procuring of sexual interaction with another person on a casual basis. However, it's an awkward metaphor. Because most people (although not I) would not say "Let's get some sex" they'd say "Let's fuck." or "Wanna ball?" or something similar. Something that refers to the specific act desired, either as an active verb, or in some way denoting the singularity of interaction desired.

"I got laid" conveys the same meaning as "I got some pussy.", but in a more grammatically consistent manner. 'I', pronoun, first person singular; ''got', colloquial, denoting 'have been', marking the past perfect, 'laid', verb, past participle, denoting sexual intercourse. Standard english grammar. Subject verb agreement, and an easy non-transitive verb.

"I got some pussy" is complicated by the some. Some seems unneccessary. Some implies not all, which is good, because it's really hard to use up pussy. Different individuals can get the same pussy, without diminishing it. Cock can be used up, but only in the present. It always rebounds. So "I got the pussy" would be wrong. Especially since there are multiple sources of pussy in the world. There is no overwhelming all-pussy, from which all sex comes. So 'the pussy' would be misleading.

But "some pussy"?

What about "some cock"? Cock is also unlimited. Sure, it's self limiting, in some individuals, in certain circumstances. But that's a strictly temporary thing. There is always rebounding. Always more cock than it appears. There is no all-cock, as there is no all-pussy. And "some cock"? as if there is cock, but the amount is uncertain? The limitations are unknown?

A couple years ago, people began to learn the difference between "less" and "fewer". "Less" refers only to things that cannot be counted as wholes. "Thirteen pounds or less" "Less than four inches" "Less milk than that"; "Fewer" refers to things that may be counted as wholes. "Fewer than three children", "There were fewer games this year."

"Ted suffered fewer acts of anal sodomy than Jake, but over a longer period of time."
"So, that's less anal rape over all. "
"Yes. Ted is a lucky guy."

Things that can be referred to by fewer are generally not referred to as some, while things that can be referred to as less, are.

Thus, you get some sleep, some lunch, some shit, some water, some pizza, some coffee, some head. But you can take a nap, have a slice, get a blowjob, have an espresso. Things with defined boundaries are generally referred to singularly, rather than collectively. That makes it easier for all of us. A gentleman who got some head may have just had the sad tongue touch and roll, and never been given the opportunity to complete the act, but it can reasonably assumed that a blowjob was adminstered by a lady with some work ethic, who wouldn't leave anything half-done.

So what do we mean when we say we're going to go out and get some cock? Some pussy?

How much do we want? Would we be satisfied with a furtive clash of genitals, lasting no longer than a swordfight on a saturday morning cartoon show? Certainly, that's some pussy. But is that satisfying? Is that what you wanted when you announced your intentions?
