Vertical stick

A mondegreen, or commonly misheard lyric, in Lady Gaga's song "Bad Romance," which is supposedly a reference to the penis.

The true lyric is "vertigo shtick" as an homage to the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Vertigo," but is often misheard by many because of the intrinsic desire to find (perhaps intentional) innuendo in the media.

Stupid person whose idea of good music resides exclusively within top 40 radio: "(sings) I want your psycho, your VERTICAL STICK! LOLOL LADY GAGA IS SO CLEVER, AS AM I! VERTICAL STICK MEANS PENIS!!"

Person 1: "I want your psycho, your vertical stick!"
Person 2: "It's 'vertigo stick', dumbass. Lady Gaga's songs are seeping with lyrical brilliance. 'Vertical stick' is so moronic and SO below her level of amazingness."
