...for sexual intercourse?
This is hardly worthy of a diary, and I will freely admit that. But life has felt so serious lately, what with healthcare reform hanging by a thread and the president I worked so hard to elect disappointing me in so many ways (while delivering in some other important ones) that this absurd story just seems to demand this snarky and smartass question.
We have a lot of euphemisms for sexual intercourse in our culture.
Some are relatively new, some very old:
Making it.
Making the beast with two backs.
Doing it.
Doing the dirty
Sleeping together
Horizontal Mambo
Creating one flesh
The birds and the bees
Making whoopee
And then there are the coarser ones:
frig
shag
hump
lay
bonk
bang
And that's not even to mention the basic Anglo-saxon term.
So, the question is:
In years to come, will "hey baby, want to go for a hike on the Appalachian trail?" become a regular part of our sexual lexicon?
