Uhm…as far as I remember. Bob was a girl…er…still is.

BTW, did anyone ever find out what “glass bottom boat” meant?

“Tossing the salad?” Never heard that one - it’s called “rimming.”

Then, of course, there’s fisting…

If you’re from the east coast, it’s “tossing the salad”. I’ve been up and down this side of the US and hadn’t heard of rimming until South Park came along.

Not in my part of the East Coast (New England) it isn’t. I’d never heard the expression “tossing (one’s) salad” before the Chris Rock comedy routine. “Rimming” is the description I’ve always heard.

I like making up new ones.

A couple weeks ago, while enjoying an ice cream on the town green with my family, I happened to glance at a sign over the fabric store across the way. It’s called “The Button Box” and the sign maker cleverly replaced the “O” in the first word with a button. Cute, yes? Unfortunately, the button is painted in a dark color that, when viewed from afar in the afternoon sun, fades away into the background. The sign read, to my perverse mind, “Butt 'n Box.” And while I’m sure that the upstanding women who run the place have never referred to _any_ part of their respective anatomies as “boxes”, I couldn’t help but fall all over myself in poorly disguised laughter. And my husband has taken to waggling his eyebrows suggestively and proposing that we _go quilt_.

Yes…unfortunately. I stumbled across it while looking up Filthy Sanchez after that South Park episode.

A “glass bottomed boat” is placing a piece of plastic wrap on one’s partner’s face, and then defecating on said plastic.

Sorry, born and raised in Philadelphia, been out and gay and active in the community for 15 years, never once heard “tossing the salad,” always “rimming.” And if anyone knows perverted sex lingo, t’would be us faggots. 😃

I can’t believe I am posting in this thread, but I have to say that that phrase is used in the Placebo song “Pure Morning”. (Prolly not the only song to use this, but it fits with the context of what you are saying)

I have no idea what it means though. They do sing a lot of things that I have no clue about or have to guess. :shrug:

“The Stranger” - sitting on one’s hand until it falls asleep, then masturbating with that hand, so as to simulate the feeling of a hand job from someone else.

_blushes a little_

So I was in the car one day with a couple of friends, and the word ‘blowjob’ was getting seriously overused, and it just doesn’t have any pizzazz anyway, and I was desparate for some way to spice up the conversation a little, or make it perhaps a little more amusing … You can only hear the word ‘blowjob’ so many times before it loses its humour, after all.

So in the midst of this conversation - which, while I was musing over all this ‘blowjob’ boredom, had turned to something else completely - I have a revelation, a whole new name in all its glory had exposed itself to me, and like any mildly insane woman who has suddenly realised something of a profound and important nature, I scream out:

“Sippin’ the Smegma Slurpee!!!”

… and I will never live that one down.

In fact it’s become rather mandatory that people go buy those white-cherry slurpees and offer them to me whenever humanly possible.

_smirks_

“Smegma Slurpee, anyone?”

my hubby calls this ‘giving yourself a numby’

I have a freind who used to call women who used kegel exercises ‘smokers’. (cough=contraction=“Hey Pete, remember Kelly? Well, she’s a smoker.”)

Get a bunch of naked guys (usually \* really \* drunk Rugby players) standing in a single file line each guy grabs the sack in front of him, then the first guy uses is arm like a elephant’s trunk. When you actually see this it looks like a line of elephants linked trunk to tail.

Yup, that’s the song. For what it’s worth, it’s the only place I’ve heard this phrase. But I had thought the line was rhymed with “A friend who’s dressed in leather” not “my Japanese is better” (which I believe is a reference to having an orgasm); maybe it appears twice in the song.

Twas awhile ago now, but when I was in college anal sex was known as **wild back door**. Said college was located in the heart of the piedmont region in North Carolina, just a county away from Pilot Mountain, and so… on many occasions one could hear in voices strangely like Andy Griffith and Barney Fife… “You’ll c’mon 'round back, ya her”. Well, it was funny at the time, anyway.
