And, before you ask, a "bunghole" is the hole in the side of a barrel -- the "bung" is the wooden stopper that goes in it. Jeez! 11:00 Friday night, and I'm still working.... ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
Now, sometimes, in some writing, the "naughty bits" (genitals & bunghole) are politely referred to as the "nether" bits -- as in:
= "When the lovely Lady Whiffington-Redbottom's's frilly bloomers ripped, I caught a brief, tantalizing glimpse of her blushing nether parts, before she fled the parlour in abject mortification."

Far from it -- Toronto, for example, is the most ethnically diverse city in the world!

Anoter german reviewer or Forum Member is Dieter Fischer who signs HDfsh or something like that! I was sprouted in Brussels , full of mossels (or muscle as Man At Work sang) and I hate both! Mossels and B sprouts. Still consider myself a bit Canadian after spending the important years (10 to 25) in Toronto! Yes Peter! Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse city in the world , but to really be someone, one must be WASP (not the insect or the band, though! Unfortunately) ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
