In contrast, the animals most frequently referred to in MGTs were snakes (e.g., black mamba, trouser snake, python), although some birds (e.g., cock), hairy animals (e.g., monkey, donkey wood), and elongated (leg-less) animals or animal parts (e.g., maggot, tail, chicken neck) were also listed.

Even in this research, tail is only mentioned for male genitalia. Zero "female = tail". Only logical explanation I've found is it's from positional sex, as in missionary position results in "getting some leg" (possibly archaic), and doggy position results in "getting some tail". But keeping the dogs tail in the picture would be a little weird, imo.

No search results so far shed any light on this mystery.

I think its the positional option but I clicked on the bitcorn because most of those types are on twitter and I think they just saw their lives flash in front of their eyes today. I find it a little funny.

Same, but I found no support in search results.

Yes, a currency that depends on internet access is not as robust as one would want.

I always thought it meant the same as “nice piece of ass”.
