"In my fatigue-addled state, I keep trying to figure out who the 'tenants of marriage' are (do spicespouses pay rent to each other?)"
Ok, this struck me as funny. My soon to be spouse does get rent from me, and most likely will after we are married as well. So the answer is/will be YES.
"[Edit: Would 'untapping' be akin to removing the cock from a keg?]"
To TAP a keg is to UNCORK it. I don't know about cocks in kegs, sounds like cruelty to animals if you ask me. :)
I do hope the crankies go away soon for you. Huggs.
I was figuring you'd replace the cork with a cock in order to get the contents of the keg out, and replace the cock with a cork when you were done and not going to be needing access for a while.
A bit of etymology; 'cock' as slang for a penis comes from the resemblance in form and function to this sense of the word 'cock', i.e. spout/spigot/tap (if I'm correctly remembering what the OED said when I looked it up because I was curious which direction that transfer of meanings had gone). If the cock has a valve, it's a 'stopcock'. No clue how roosters tie into this etymologically.
