I am not resting on my oars, I am making more preparations, working harder than ever before. - Pastor E. A. Adeboye

Sharpen the Battle Oar for the Regatta

Code used by closeted gay men to communicate their intent on attending a gay sex orgy;

Sharpen= lubricate

Battle Oar= one's penis

Regatta= public place, usually a highway rest stop or secluded park bench, where homosexual men go to have unprotected sex with multiple anonymous partners

Mike: Hey Dave, what are you up to tonight?

Dave: I'm so stressed. I'm ready to sharpen the battle oar for the regatta. (wink)

Mike: Sounds good. I'll see you there. (gently taps foot)
