A couple of emails that have been doing the rounds. Incredibly crude, very funny, but not for the easily offended or anyone with a swearword filter. Got the warning?

So, that’s what I’ve been doing all this time: Aussie kissing. I feel so cosmopolitan. ---

Do those in the UK use those rhyming slang terms in everyday conversation (not particularly the bad ones, I’ve seen ones meaning lots of things)? It seems to me that it would be a bit hard to pick up on. . .just wondering. ---

I would like to say at this time that I have been using the word “ricockulous” for at least a couple of years now. I believe I shall be adding several terms from those links to Lux’s Lexicon of Common Usage. Some of 'em are, as they say, bloody marvelous. ---

I’m still tryin’ to figure out why you needed to provide a warning… There are people who’d get offended by this?!? Who, Ned Flanders?!? ---

**Garfield** – Some people do, some don’t. It’s mainly a bloke thing. Nice lists, Matt. Quite like the Millennium Domes – rings unerringly true. ---

some of It we would use over here in Ireland, particularly “Swamp donkey”. ---

I’ll see if I can dig up some more…we’ve certainly been working on a few more at work (dull training course + network connection = hours of internet fun). (No, they’re not all in common use…a few, though, are certainly deserving of more attention…) ---

I’m digging the London slang, especially this one, which caused me to laugh so hard I woke up my brother upstairs: > [@](#): > > 2-Bagger: > Someone that you’d need 2 paper bags to have sex with. (1 to cover their > head, and 1 to cover yours, **in case their bag falls off**.) LOL! Am I the only one who doesn’t know what a Budgie’s Tongue is? What can that possibly rhyme with? I think I have an idea, but I’m really curious about the origins of that one. The only one missing is the McPiss, which my friends and I have been saying for years - it never fails to confuse. We never thought of McPiss with Lies, though - I can’t wait to share that one! 😛 ---

Hee hee, Matt! “Double Bass” eh? We call it “playing the Jello Cello.” And “Etch-A-Sketch” was “tuning the radio.” ---

So what is it when you wake up on the pavement or out in the middle of a field? Did the beer scooter take a wrong turn or something? ---

Here’s a link to the complete original profanisaurus, hundreds if not thousands of Brit gutterspeak, one of the poor taste seven wonders of the world and perhaps the funniest thing I’ve ever read. [http://www.viz.co.uk/profanisaurus/profanis.htm](http://www.viz.co.uk/profanisaurus/profanis.htm) ---

Ah, the Profanisaurus! That’s where those offensive slang words were from! I thought I’d seen them before. I guess it was a case of _dejá F.U._. \
