What the hell is a 'Shanghai neck-lick'?

While scanning some headlines today, one jumped out at us: "SHANGHAI NECK-LICK." It's from the LA Weekly, a story about attending a punk rock show:

Standing at the rim of the violence, I was groped by a drunk punker, complete with a shanghai neck-lick. My contempt for all-things-androgen reached its peak, and, smearing the saliva off my collar, I mined my purse for keys.

Wow. We've lived in Shanghai four years and never once received a Shanghai Neck-Lick (not one that we'd admit to, anyway). Guess that means we're pretty lame ... or that the writer simply made up the maneuver, which seems to be the case. Googling "shanghai neck lick" turns up absolutely nothing. Googling shanghai "neck lick" gets links to seven pages, mostly German sites or porn sites or German porn sites.

So maybe it doesn't exist. Still, the Shanghai Neck Licks would be a great name for a fantasy football team.

This got us curious. What slang phrases did exist that incorporated the word "Shanghai"? We turned to our trusty friend Urban Dictionary, and found a decent amount of new terminology -- most of which, we're afraid, has to do with bodily orifices and bodily fluids.

So if you are the type that gets offended by dirty words and dirty sex PLEASE DON'T READ ANY FURTHER. The rest of you, click the link below to be taken on a bizarre little Shanghai language lesson. (But don't say we didn't warn you.)
