"After I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7," the Republican nominee told volunteers at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, sparking laughter and applause from the group"
I may kake some easy guesses. But is anyone able to tell me what McCain means by "whipping his you know what". He means testicles? And "24/7" ?

He probably means whipping his ass. 24/7 means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I agree. Which is a metaphor for not only winning the debate, but leaving the opponent heavily "damaged" in the process.

Nice. Would using the word ass be considered prophane?

To some people, yes.
Or maybe he's secretly into S&M and trying to find a way to work it into the conversation. Probably not.

"Ass" is another word for a donkey, and the democrat party symbol is a donkey, so the commend was quite appropriate really!

That is a very good point. I don't think Senator McCain realized that though.
