h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This question is inspired by Absolutley!'s "Euphamisms for Insanity" thread: (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F57152?thread=133880). So how many words or phrases can you think of for sex? Here are a few to get the (creative) juices flowing: A bit of how's your father Nobbing Boffing A bit of the other Making the beast with two back Discussing Ugandan relations (a phrase Private Eye took verbatim from some straying MP) Oh look: "straying" And a personal favourite of mine: 'She just stopped by to freshen up' which was the completely transparent excuse used by the bloke I was with, when we emerged from a hotel room we should not have been in together. ***B

Me and my good lady always go "romping".
Well, not always. Not ALL the time, you understand.
I mean, when we do, that's what we call it.
You know what I mean.

a romper called Ommigosh

The horizontal mambo.

Driving the baloney bus into tuna town. (hey you asked)

and from A Clockwork Orange - the old in and out.

My favorite euphamism for sex is "Play time".

Mostly Harmless

Some North Am variants (not necessarilly mine)

getting it on
getting down wit it
doing it
havin a poke
drivin down main street
shaggin
porkies
makin bacon
piggies
the hokey pokey

As you can see many North Americans have difficulty in calling a spade a spade. Anything that moves them one centimeter off their cool centres needs a euphemism. But, godblessem, they keep the language colourful.

Ah! you reminded me of another one...

A poke in the wiskers.

In Grumpy Old Men I think the father sums up a lot of synonyms. Lemmon and Matthau were really great together.

The old slap and tickle.

Nookie, but I have no idea why.

Rogering.

Can't seem to get this subject off my mind.

Bumping uglies.

Snuggling (from the Simpsons).

Nookie comes from nook, as in cranny, and out of the way place, a cleft.

Riding the wild baloney pony.
Sinking the submarine.

Hide the Salami

Pickel the Peperoni

Get your stick wet

Hmmm,

Horizontal jogging (also horizontal tango, salsa, yadda yadda yadda)
Having tea with the Parson
Hide the sausage
Playing hide and seek with PC helmet (probably only works if you know what the old-style British policeman's helmet looks like)
Bionking (From Buffy, possibly from America? How do you pronounce it?)
Bedroom golf (FORE!)

Playing mummies and daddies
playing doctors and nurses

Working off a chocolate bar
Feeding the animal
A bit of the Old How's Yr Father
Bundling

riding the baloney pony

intercourse

Muffin, again I have no idea!

But these aren't the pseudonyms I use, I would just rather say a night of fun, passion, etc.

My ex-husband used the above words.

coitus
