"They've got me over a barrell" : euphemism for getting fucked up the ass?

I always imagine someone with their hands tied behind their back, trousers at the ankles. And, for some reason, the barrell has water and fish in it.

Well?

More likely a phrase derived from nautical corporate punishment. Expect Kate to arrive at this thread in 10...9...

"corporate punishment" = oops.

I don't know anybody with a corporate punishment fetish.

A scene like this appears in Neil Stephenson's Quicksilver, just after a ship has been sacked by pirates. The barrell is later chucked overboard. I got the impression that the hands are tied to a rope that goes forwards around the barrell.
