Feet = Penis?
I've heard from several different people that feet were often used as a euphemism for penis in the Bible. Is this true? Also, which parts of the Bible does this apply to? (This brings a whole new meaning to those passages where Jesus washes people's feet.)

Quote:
Rth 3:4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. But the euphemism is not applicable to the foot-washing story. Sometimes a foot is just a foot. |

And here I thought this thread was going to be about the brain, in which the regions for processing touch sensation of the genitals are right next to those for the feet, which means that for a least one amputee, he experiences orgasms in his phantom foot..

I am fairly sure that references to washing feet refer to actual feet, not euphemisms.

It brings a new meaning to this verse:
Luke 7:45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. |

It also adds to colour to the expression "third leg"

Warning!: Crude joke
Of course there is the old joke: Why can't your penis be twelve inches long? Because then it would be a foot! drumroll>BODABOOM< drumrull! Any misspelling and/or false definitions in the above posts are of fault of DISSIDENT AGGRESSOR, he doesn't have time to waste with spell checkers or dicktionaries and is way to busy actually producing art, and not sitting around on his ass dreaming.

Didn't they annoint feet with oil? Oil would be slippery on your walking feet, but that other foot might enjoy an oily rubdown--up--down--up--down...
