Shake the Willy

[Gordon Mackie]

The 'ruby in a black man's ear' which is correctly attributed to 
Shakepeare does not have a literal meaning in the play Othello. It 
actually refers to something rather different...an erect penis. It 
was an allusion used often by Willy the Shake (which seems to have a 
different conotation now). Actually, this is my vain attempt to be 
humourous and I just made it up. Please someone find this vaguely 
amusing...I am trying to lighten up..honest...honest...
