How it's used

Originally referring to the act of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner preparing a prescription, this phrase has evolved into a common double entendre. When used in a medical context, it is straightforward and neutral. However, in social settings, it is almost exclusively used as a crude, slang way to refer to sexual intercourse.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Be careful using this in a pharmacy or clinic, as the sexual connotation is very strong and can lead to awkward misunderstandings if the context is not clearly medical.
