What happened to romance and courtship?!!! I must admit I get a bit flustered when I hear youngsters of 12, 13 and 14 saying, "sh****d" ! Even though I was young in the days when we idealistic young people were trying to cut through some of the hyprocrisy of the buttoned-up 1950s, our expressions were not as "in your face"- and certainly NOT at that young age. We used to say "getting laid!" But when Bob Dylan sang, "Lay, lady, lay,- lay across my big brass bed!!" It still sounded romantic, somehow. Maybe I was only a plastic hippy, after all. Coming from a little town like Market Drayton, I wasn't likely to do the whole thing, was I? Never smoked pot, for example. I went for the romantic thing- I loved it because you could dress up like a walking pantomime, discuss deep and meaningful things with would-be poets and bohemian types in damp basements and always take a guitar to strum and sing the latest Bob Dylan or Joan Baez song!!! But- funny expressions still amuse me. I don't mind what people say as long as they're old enough!! Go on- let's have some funny expressions for it!!!

'Bin Tuppin'
It's a bit of a farmers expression though.

Wiggy, I think some of the Beat Poets and musicians like Jim Morrison (and probably Bob himself) were just as 'in your face' as kids today.

I've heard it in context as:
"Fancy a bit of how's your father"

"Tuppin" is a really funny one!! I have heard it before because, at a school where I was working, one of the young teachers married a farmer from Yorkshire. She had the whole staffroom in hoots of laughter telling us about 'Tuppin'!! Originally, it's an expression used for sheep She told us that they paint some special red dye on the underside of the Ram, so next day, they can tell how many ewes had been "tupped"- because they'd have red marks on their backs. I like the porsche through the car-wash one!!! You're probably right about language in the 1960s. Possibly there were still some who didn't say things in front of "ladies!" I'd hardly think Dylan would have cared!! I'm just saying that the "lady" would have been far more likely to respond to an invitation like that in a song- rather than "Do you fancy a ****!!!!" Yes- it was around- even in Market Drayton- I remember, in the early 60s even- there was a girl who was a little bit rough shall we say- and she went through Drayton, on market day- wearing a T-shirt with "sh***" written on it- but that was mega-shocking at the time!!! In reply to TOAO- No, I really didn't smoke pot, ever. I can have bad reactions to even prescription anti-biotics if they don't suit me- so I'd be WELL scared of illegal drugs. In those days, if you went to a party and someone was smoking it, and you could smell it- best to get out. The police would raid places in those days. And, honestly- I think it's 50 times more dodgy now- it's not even as pure as it was then. Full of all sorts of rubbish. George Harrision died of cancer, didn't he? He gave up smoking- pot and tobacco- but it was too late.
