[QUOTE=Cluricaun] That’s just a term for infidelity, not buttsecks. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=wikipedia] The phrase “back-door man” dates from the 1920s, but the term became a double entendre in the 1960s, also meaning “one who practices anal intercourse.”[4] [/QUOTE] [Linky.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_man) ---

[QUOTE=Charlie Tan] [Linky.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_man) [/QUOTE] Sure, but Zep was just ripping off Willie Dixon who meant it in the colloquial blues sense I think. It’s either that or I have to take a long look at Howlin Wolf. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > Officials in London, who are charged with organising the 2012 Olympics in the city, also say Lewis asked for the words of the third verse to be changed from “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love” to “every bit” of my love because the original would not make sense for a female singer. Those officials clearly have dirty minds if they think that “inches of love” can only refer to penis size. The metaphor works just as well for either sex of singer. ---

[QUOTE=randwill] Why didn’t someone tell him to button his jacket? [/QUOTE] It’s probably hard enough getting him to wear a tie that doesn’t have food stains on it. He always looks like a drunk who has stumbled in to the wrong room. On the other hand, how many mayors would have worked the word “pankration” into their post-handover speech, or irreverently referred to China’s favourite sport as “ping pong”? He must give his PR people nightmares 😃 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsFRgIb8mAQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsFRgIb8mAQ). Worth watching for the “whiff whaff” bit, and for London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe squirming in the background. (“Ping pong is coming home” is a reference to the Euro 1996 football tournament which was also held in England, and had the slogan “football’s coming home.”) ---

[QUOTE=Mehitabel] Boris Jackson sure looked uncomfortable with that flag. Will he still be mayor in '12? [/QUOTE] Someone needs to tell His Lordship the Mayor to get a new haircut. That one didn’t look good on Elton John, and it sure as hell doesn’t do Boris Jackson any favors. ---
