hummer
Makes steady buzz
A hummer is something that hums—a person humming a tune, or more commonly, a hummingbird.
In slang, a hummer is something excellent or remarkable: That new song is a real hummer.
Vulgar slang uses hummer for oral sex performed on a man, from the humming vibration sometimes involved. (Capitalized Hummer is the vehicle brand.)
