Enhance or restore sexual vigor, as in Try one of these hot peppers; that'll put lead in your pencil. This phrase, a euphemism for causing an erection, is considered far more vulgar than the contemporary synonym
put hair on one's chest, alluding to a secondary male sex characteristic. [Colloquial; c. 1900]
