To believe we can retire the word "shagging"?

[ReplacementBusService]

I was a teenager in the 90s, and the word for casual, semi casual, or run of the mill sexual congress was "shag", as in "shagging" "have a shag", "quick shag", and "shagged em".

I just think, this word has had its day. It has connotations with vintage rugs, thick carpets, unruly beards, and perhaps panting sheepdogs, that are uncomfortable. Other words exist. I don't want to be the self declared Word Police, and appreciate there will be other points of view on this very important topic, but please can we all consider never using it again?

I think you're replying to the wrong poster. That phrase isn't in my helpful (Googled) list.

Bonk is awful. Like a Sun word.

No. The word is a classic and deserves to be respected as such.

Banging is my preferred term.

This phrase always makes me think of Mr Lucas from Are You Being Served.

Well I’m. It asking dh for sex nor for some loveee making. So fancy a shag or hey let’s get a quickie it is.

I guess we could go for come on just fuck me but that sounds rather demanding. Come stick your meat stick in me? He proper kebabed me? His meat sword was in me all night?

or we shagged all night, let’s have a shag. I think I’ll keep the word shag.

My mate says she ‘had a jump with’ someone or wants to have a jump with them 🤣

I like shagging

That makes me thinking of a fight.

Harry got jumped last night… defo not sex 😂

Not to this Englishwoman. (SE).

I'm open to hanky panky.

I haven’t heard romp for years, apart from in a tabloid headline about celebrity affairs

What about if someone is an absolute shag?

That’s definitely fit for a thread on its own.

I mean it’s better than ‘doing the deed’ or ‘rutting’. I worked with some Aussies who all call it rooting which is horrific.

Nothing wrong with a little shag.

Depends. How long, how loud and how often for enviro health.

For anti social behaviour however including minors hearing your sex regularly during normal day time hours a much lower threshold.

Fornicate? Copulate?

In Marian Keyes the (Irish) characters say "ride"

How about dippy doing?

I’m imagining a council noise abatement order pinned to their front gate now with details of the restrictions placed on them.

Oh I got another.

fancy scrambling my eggs 😉

Doing the nasty 😀
