Word of the Day Archive
Do you know your 'Silent Beard' from your 'Beard Splitter'? If we asked to 'Whitewash your Kidneys' after you 'Sneezed in the Cabbage', and 'Slung our Jelly' would you know what to do?
Then we're here to help. As if we needed any more evidence that sex has long been a rich source of humour, here is a roundup of our favourite 'Word of the Day'.
All genuine words and phrases recorded in various historical dictionaries, ranging from the middle ages to the 1990s. Now, prepare for your oily balsamic injection, whilst we bake potatoes - you may need a piss-quick first.
