mating drum Hello! This is from Deadpool 2, an American superhero movie. Deadpool describes to his team how he's going to kill his mortal enemy - Cable: "The first order of business is to get me in front of Cable so I can pull all the blood out of his body and fashion his bones into holiday jewelry. Then, I'm going to take his skin and stretch it out over a homemade mating drum." I was wondering if you could you tell me what a "mating drum" is?

I’ve never heard of a mating drum. It may be a a word invented for comic effect because it suggests a sort of drum that a remote tribe might use during a mating ritual of some kind. The sentence is much funnier by including the adjective “mating”.

I actually had to google this, mating has 2 meanings: 1) Bringing two animals to breed/mate reproduce together 2) Connect mechanically so for example: "the four-cylinder engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox" Over here it would simply mean that he will connect his skin layer to create drum.
