Koohii Story 1 Slang for blowjob and that´s priceless for stories...but also the character looks like the letter R which I think of as standing for RULER (12 inches) other meanings include: rule, measure, length.
Koohii Story 2 Since this is SLANG for BLOW JOB and since it looks like an "R", let´s have the primitive be the R in BROW JOB. :).
