Damn, I always thought it meant cunnilingus, because tossing = licking and salad = girly bits. Whew, that’s a bullet dodged right there. (My definition is way better!) ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] What’s an omelette? (Am I going to be sorry I asked?) Regarding the “tossing the salad” bit, I suppose if someone asked me in a normal way (ie - lick my butt hole) at least I would think about it. I would say no 'cus I just don’t go there, or want anyone else to go there either, but I would think about it. But if there was some dorky name I’d assume he was kidding, and that would be the end of that. [/QUOTE] You know, I always wondered what he was singing about in the “Frasier” theme: _“Hey baby I hear them blues a-callin’, Tossed salads and scrambled eggs…”_ :eek: :eek: ---

[QUOTE=alice\_in\_wonderland] . If any of you guys need a yuk, last night I suggested to the that guy I’m interested in that he could “toss my salad” and then he explaned what that meant. Oh my. :eek: [/QUOTE] Well, I am not a lady, but it means to mix a bowl of greens well, usually after applying dressing. Really. Now, as a \*sexual term, it \* often refers to analingus. ---

[QUOTE=Muffin] My deeply religious and very innocent cousins call their daughter Cunny. She is quite accomplished in her sport, so a lot of the crowds cheer her on with her name.

[QUOTE=Muffin] To each his or her own. Myself, I very much enjoy it. I had never heard that particular term for it before, though. [/QUOTE] Same here. It’s fun as both giver or receiver. I wouldn’t do it (either position) unless it was fairly shortly following a shower, mind you… As for tea-bagging… I don’t know about anyone else but I can’t fit a testicle in my mouth, let alone both. Licking I can do. Sucking? Not physically possible. ---

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] Just because they’re from an animal doesn’t mean they’re a dead animal. [/QUOTE] You’re correct. I should have said “of dead animal”. I just wanted to post the joke before somebody beat me to it. The practice of gelding livestock and eating the testes is also found in the US. ---
