Sexual connotation? (Or troll?)

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?} carrots→ 10:41, 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?} carrots→ 05:05, 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?} carrots→ 05:42, 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?} carrots→ 12:32, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
