A “geek” is a horrific weirdo in a circus who bites the heads off of live chickens.
A “dork” is a penis.
When you say something or someone “sucks” you’re referring specifically to the act of fellatio.
If you describe someone as “hysterical,” you’re accusing them of acting erratically due to sexual repression, and specifically that her womb is wandering around her body in an untoward manner.
Your grandmothers should wash out your mouths with soap, the lot of you!

Rich Jewish guy in Miami Beach for some reason decides that riding a camel downtown would be fun. He buys one, fits it out, and proudly rides it down hotel row.
But one morning he wakes up to find the camel gone. He runs to the police station to report it.
Police: Weight
Guy. I don’t know
Police: Do you know its size?
Guy: No.
Police: Okay, male or female?
Guy. (Emphatically) Male!
Police: (surprised) How do you know
Guy: Because as I was riding it, lots of people shouted 'Look at the schmuck on that camel!"
“You’re in like Flynn” is sometimes used innocuously; few remember it came from Errol Flynn’s “wicked wicked ways” with the ladies and the underage girls.
I am sure I have heard every single word up there used by very straight-laced religious people. It’s wonderful. I assisted a youth pastor who tried to avoid similar things (“flippin’, freakin’”, etc.) & I was amused when he’d slip on somesuch word that he either didn’t realize had a bad origin or just forgot about.
I didn’t realize until fairly recently that if you pat somebody’s fanny in England it’s a much more serious offense than it is here, but it explains where people wear Fanny Bags.
I loved the episode of Arrested Development in which whenever Michael’s English girlfriend called him a pussy it wasn’t bleeped but if an American did it was due to context. Anyone know what the Brit equivalent to calling somebody a pussy (i.e. total wimp, coward, but with female sexual connotation) would be in America?
