just read this..
it`s an expression used in USA and means all kinds of smacking and caning to give sexual thrills.
so they are saying that if you`re English you like being punished?
on the other han, swingers seem to have a much more respectful attitude towards the french, as French Culture means oral sex
Top of the Swingers` respect list,though, are the Romans.
ROman Culture` means free for all orgy.
it all sounds alot more appealing than the uptight boarding-school image that we English seem to have across the culture!
Reese says that he is unaware of this particular terminology.
I've never heard of the word "culture" being in any of the expressions used. However, the French used to refer to spanking as "la vice anglaise".
Mike.
Before I moved to this country, my idea of the English was Benny Hill ... porky ruddy faced short squat dirty old man... ermm... what was my point again?
Be back later to conclude...
Its the Americans who really do have a thing about bottoms !
gonna bust your ass, kickin ass, I'ma gonna whip your ass , not to mention the number of "bums" on the streets !
You never hear an englishman say " I wish to break you bottom " and " bumming a fag " could create mayhem outside of the U.K !
Guess I should say for international readers that the term "bumming a fag" in the UK, means asking somone for a cigarette, and a few years ago the term "Gay" was meaning happy or light it is now accepted as being homosexual ,which was once refered to in the UK as being "queer "which originally was not feeling well, or somthing odd!, I understand that in modern UK teen speak "caning" is now related to illgal drug use and not to do with punishment with a stick ( which in old English was a "rod" of wood ) not to be confused with the "Birch" that was an old form of capital punishment and very severe it could be.
"Faggot" in English has various meanings from a food delicacy to a bundle of wood used to light a fire, In Public school "fag " was the term used for an elder student's servant who was a younger or "freshman" In relation to cigarettes a freyed end of rope was referred to as the fag(ed) end and cheap cigarettes assumed the name "fags" eg its like smoking an old bit of rope ! In America this term is of course related to homosexual practice .
I just read a fascinating book about the English imagination / culture over the centuries, and it seems that the English are most preoccupied with what's on the surface and what's behind them, along with a big streak of melancholy.
As an Englishman, I think I can safely say that spanking the surface of my behind would bring out the melancholic in me :shock: :shock: :shock:
