to wish ds wasn't doing frottage....

......in Art this term?

What on earth is Frottage???

Hmmm, just googled. That's unfortunate isn't it

I'm picturing a term of grubby grey mits?

I'm picturing Vic Reeves rubbing his legs.

I do hope he has misunderstood.

No, he hasn't. It's the proper name for stuff like brass rubbing. But I used to work in sexual health.......

Interestingly, none of the class seem to know the other meaning. And 12 year old boys are usually the first to an innuendo!

Am ashamed to say I didn't know it was brass rubbing and thought it was... Well... Rubbing your brass!

That was a question in one of our early University Challenge rounds. I can still hear my very Welsh teammate enunciating the word as clearly as humanly possible.

I too was when I read the title and not really any the wiser after reading the OP. I thought maybe he attended an, er, progressive school.

See, I thought i knew what frotting was and thought he had confused it with collage.

For anyone who doesn't know, the urban dictionary says

Frotting- rubbing ones crotch against unexpecting people, furniture or walls. A favourite of sex starved Japanese business men on the subway.
