   • 'John Thomas! John Thomas!' and she quickly kissed the soft penis, that was beginning to stir again. 1928, D[avid] H[erbert] Lawrence, chapter 14, in Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Gutenberg edition, [Florence, Italy]: [ […] Tipografia Giuntina, […]], →OCLC; republished as Lady Chatterley’s Lover (eBook no. 0100181h.html), Australia: Project Gutenberg Australia, August 2011, archived from the original on 11 Nov 2020:
2. (archaic, slang) A flunkey; a male servant.
   • We are disposed to think servants an ill-used class. Not only the parlor, not only querulous masters and mistresses, but the press, is against them, and finds its account in ringing the changes on flunkeys, menials, servant-girls, and John Thomases, confident in a sure topic, and safe from reprisal. 1869, The Home Monthly, page 383:
