> Doesn't bugger mean the same thing as shag?
Ahem, well, erm. Bugger is ahem, sodommy basically. But BUT BUT its not really offensive, its evolved to be sort of a sentimental niceish swearword. Like, if you're an old grouch, you might say 'bugger off' to a person who you actually really like. Its hard to explain. But it is still sort of a swear word.
Randy isn't really a swear word, it just means horny. So. We find it quite amusing that its a first name in the US......
Snog is very much a word in common useage particulary amongst those age groups that tend to it with alot of people, ie teenagers and students. Also we say 'to get off with' as in 'make out' so, like 'I got off with him last night' meaning 'I made out with him'.
Phew.
Are they are American naughtly words we should know about??
> But don't those things correlate with just about everything these days?
No. There are certain specific factors that increase your chances of getting breast (or other) cancers.
Kind regards
