Does that phrase mean the same as “Give your balls a tug”?

    Yah know this cutesy “Make fun of Trump for being an idiot” rhetoric is nice and all, but how about people take a principled stand against the fact that he is a fascist trying to install a fascist regime.

      I just wanted to share news and ask if “give your head a shake” means the same as “give your balls a tug”

        I’m not really trying to shit on you or anything, more so just wanted to express that I’m upset news outlets and politicians aren’t taking Trump seriously as a threat.

          Trust me. Just because certain news sources aren’t taking him as a threat doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not a threat. However, I don’t know another community where I can post real facts WHILE asking for a comparison of slang

        Kinda, how I understand the terms:

        The shaking is in the hope to dislodge the thought.

        The tug is to highlight the self gratification aspect of the statement.

        They can be used similarly but have different tones.
