Definitions and meanings of "Autoharp"

What do we mean by autoharp?

A string instrument having a series of chord bars attached to dampers (muting bars) which mute all the strings other than those that form the desired chord.

An instrument similar to a harp, in the sense that it has dozens of strings, but is rather small in size and has buttons that change the sounds so you can play different chords all across the strings by strumming. When you press a chord button, it presses down a long rod with pieces of felt attached. The pieces of felt press down on strings of which are not used for the particular chord and leaves certain strings free to sound for that particular chord. Urban Dictionary

The act of performing anilingus on one's girlfriend and simultaneously reaching around to stimulate her vaginal area by hand. Term derived from the "rusty trombone" as women are not equipped with a trombone-like appendage; moreover the originator of the term maintains that while they do not know how to play the autoharp, the term merely sounds hilarious.
