Huh?

I see that David Hasselhoff had to get surgery after severing a tendon in his arm. But see if the way he's reported to have done so makes sense to you:

The 53-year-old actor, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon on the TV beach drama for 11 years, was shaving at a gym in the Sanderson Hotel on Thursday when he hit his head on a chandelier, showering his arm with broken glass, his publicist, Judy Katz, said.

I'm sorry, but I'm having a very hard time picturing this. Either that, or else there is some obscure, slangy and maybe NSFW definition of the word "shaving" of which I am unaware.

I get it! He was showering at the Liberace Memorial Gym in the Sanderson Hotel. He was bent over to look in the mirror, see, because he is twice the size of mortal men. Then, he stood fully erect and crashed his manly cranium into one of the many the very-attractive-in-a-masculine-way, yet low-slung, chandeliers which . . . oh, forget it!

You're right. "Shaving" is slang for something.

Obviously shaving is a slang term for "auto-erotic asphyxiation involving a goat, 6 cans of Cheez-Whiz, a copy of Mein Kampf, a bottle of Tequila, and Meredith Baxter Birney”. Can’t believe you didn’t know that. Square.

LB Buddy,

Now that made me laugh. Hasselhoff's variation is apparently even more perverse, involving a chandelier, a razor, and a voyeuristic talking car, as well.
