spaniel

A synonym for the vagina, esp. when used in reference to doggystyle.

Coming from Scene I of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, in which the lovestruck Helena tries to woo the disparaging Demetrius with the following passage:

And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel; and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you:
Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave,
Unworthy as I am, to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love,--
And yet a place of high respect with me,--
Than to be used as you use your dog?

The term is meant to illustrate a situation of submissiveness, and as such, can be used as either a term for the vagina, or by the common use of synecdoche, to refer to a woman as such, similarly to "pussy".

Ex 1: Hey, I'm just tryna go to the club to get down and maybe get some spaniel tonight.

Ex 2:
Person A: Hey, I saw you last night with that girl, is anything going on with her on that long-term tip?
Person B: Naw, I just hit it and quit, definitely just some spaniel.
