Sexual connotation? (Or troll?)

[edit]

From the article lapel pin: he pins had counter cultural meanings as well; for example, the pin featuring the robot spacecraft Kosmos 186 (which approached and docked with Kosmos 188) had a sexual connotation..

Is that true? Sounds like a troll. 1.55.251.67 (talk) 09:49, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added over 10 years ago, by a drive-by.[1] My money's on trolling. It be gone. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots10:41, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Probably a good faith edit, see the Kosmos 186 and 188 docking pin, other view. --Pp.paul.4 (talk) 10:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see two (male?) flying toothpaste tubes trying to mate. The Capulets and Montagues have nothing on the Colgates and Crests. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:24, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To someone with an overactive imagination (like the IP in question), anything inserting into anything could have "sexual connotations". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dream Interpretation (simplified)
Everything's either concave or -vex
So whatever you dream will be something with sex.

Soviet stamp featuring Kosmos 186 and Kosmos 188 linked
It doesn't really take that much of an imagination. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Check out this idealized postcard image. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:21, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Go to Google Images, enter "Valentin Viktorov" in the search box, and take a look at the Soviet phallic symbolism that comes tumbling out. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:27, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Closer to home was the Agena target vehicle. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gemini 8 docking
This is the most suggestive Gemini-Agena image I could find. Thin soup in comparison. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:11, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to give an explicit link here, but those interested in 'overactivation of their imagination' may look at one popular slang dictionary. --CiaPan (talk) 09:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not include such explicit images; just give a link, labelling it NSFW. Thank you.  --Lambiam 10:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what you mean. There are no NSFW images in this thread. --Viennese Waltz 11:14, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's a joke, I say that's a joke, son. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots12:32, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
