Hey there guys! What’s all this stiff debate over the bases when, well…you could be doing something more productive (excuse the pun) like having SEX right now? hee hee ---

Here are some new ones: ``` line drive: running hand up her skirt tagged on first: stood up before or on first date ``` sent to the showers: dumped curve ball: saying no while meaning yes and vice versa spit ball: slapped in the face bush leagues: resort to dating the uglier girls free agent: stud who gets to sleep around ---

Anyone else familiar with the Russian terminology? And on a side note, how are breasts associated with the Dutch? Not that we mind 😉 \*\* There are a number of perjorative terms the British have for the Dutch. The most famiuliar one is “dutch treat” which means no treat at all since the date is to cheap to pay for both of them. Thus “dutch f\*cking” means no (real) sex at all. BTW, “russian love” means sadomasochism. There a whole bunch of similar foreign slangs in “Wicked Words” by Hugh Rawson. ---

Actually, I thought the “breasts intensive” sex was known as Swedish. Go fig. And, as long as I"m here… Split fingered Fastball-leading off from 3rd in scoring position, just before the deed, one seperates the veal drapes (man, I can’t believe that one!) with 2 fingers in order to score. Slider- leading off from second, basically in a car sliding your hand under her in order to get to 3rd. Extra innings- no climax. head first slide- When you’re going for home, but you don’t think you’re going to make it, you go down for the dirty before the score. seventh inning stretch- anytime either partner says “Whup! Cramp! Cramp!” ---
