打麻雀

[Lu]

Another translation question. The sentence:

我估计夏宇清如果没出去打麻将也肯定在床上裹住毯子打麻雀了。

'I was guessing that if Xia Yuqing hadn't gone out to play mahyong, he would surely be at home in his bed under a blanket...' doing what?

My first guess was that Xia Yuqing was 'playing with his bird', but then I looked up 打麻雀 and it's another term for 打麻将. Except it's kinda hard to play majiang on your own under a blanket. Now I'm confused: what's the guy doing?

Thanks for any help!

My guess would be:

打麻雀=打飞机=打手枪=to masturbate

[Lu]

That was my first thought too, but is that an existing term for that that you know of?

[renzhe]

It's probably a play on words, and means what you think it means

[Lu]

Thanks for the confirmation guys :-)

here it probably means "Jack off":D
