Not only for Tin Man, indeed. They run very kinky parties there in the weekends, might as well polish up a shiny chap once in a while.
You realize 'chap' can have two meanings?
Chap can be a leg protector worn by a horse rider who goes through thorny bushes, or a British slang term for a man. Rubbing one with polish is a bit different from rubbing the other
Ah yes, so let me explain: the discussion on the rare occasions where the polish wheel could be used, I tried to make a joke that the wheel is used for special parties, but that it turned out it can be used to actually, literally make Tin Man shiny too. Do indeed it’s the slang word for man, but I was not trying to put even more naughty in. Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way!
