So without the use of Anglo-Saxon how do we say f*** ect. There are probably more ways to say it than any other word. So without using the word how many way are there to say f***. How about tyring to count them, I'll start.
Some time ago I was sat in a bar. In came a lady I was talking to earlier. She collected two vodkas from the bar and sat on the seat close to me. We talked and then with her long round vowels and emphasizing the last letter of each word she asked "Would you like to dock with me?"
So we went to my room and docked.
1 Cosmonauts dock.
any more............
I like
"playing Mr. Wobbly hides his helmet!"
Not sure where it comes from , Rowan Atkinson springs to mind though.
I hate to be the one to break it to you... well, no, that's not true. I have a big dictionary and delight in occasions to use it.
"Hide" is from Old English (aka Anglo Saxon). You can conceal Mr Wobbly's helmet if you like.
Dock is Germanic, but doesn't enter English until well after the Normans. Cosmonaut is Greek via Russian. So you're OK with that.
Anyone for some horizontal jogging?
Not one I use but how about 'Bury the Badger'Popular in some country areas so I'm told..
Can't remember which film it was from but can remember 1 guy saying to the other
"are you and my sister gonna bump uglies"
thunderbolt and lightfoot springs to mind but not sure (clint eastwood film for anyone who doesn't know)
don't know which film but have heard clash shields.
How about
"The old hammer and nail"
from the Money Pit!!!!
...and from China I bring you
bury the one eyed monk
How about some jiggy jiggy
Unsurprisingly, the net contains more than several lists of euphemisms. I quite like "make ends meet" (which sadly fails the AS test). I don't understand "have a bit of summer cabbage" (which also fails). Anyone volunteer to teach me that one? "Growling at the badger" appeals to me for some reason.
It's a sheep thing :giggle:
A reference was made to
Horizontal Jogging
in 'Yes Minister'
