Shoots Like an Arrow

הגדרה (אנגלית)

It comes out as quickly as an arrow from a bow (in the original: a designation for someone whose semen is released with normal force at the time of ejaculation).

In the language of the Mishnah, he struck his wife, so named because the semen shoots like an arrow" — Rashi on Genesis 21:16, and likewise: "An added virtue is known about Baruch's bottle, that he shoots from it like an arrow" — Shalom Aleichem, The Drink of My Brother Eliyahu, soda.)
