If you love words, and the unrivaled ability of English to be inventive (and silly), check out this great list for "doing the nasty." Time to resuscitate playing nug-a-nug!

Quite delightful!  I recognized only two -"Get one's ashes hauled" and "Put the devil into hell".  I came across the latter as a teenager, and could have sworn recalling it from The Canterbury Tales.  A little research indicates that it came from The Decameron, a bit earlier than the article suggests.  I may not have understood the significance of the source in a literary sense, but I certainly was educated by its content.  My favorite, however, is "Play at couch quail".

Oh my. These make a roll in the hay look pale by comparison.

There is a Nug Nug, Victoria Australia. Do they do it all the time?
