[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 6637371, member: 31216"] Way, way back in the day, I met a girl from England who invited me to "come round and knock me up sometime." When I lived in a US port city, British military ships would port for a couple of days. The British sailors would flood the local nightlife. I remember they got a kick out some signs in front of the nightclubs: "Come shag the night away with us." "Shag contest Saturday night." A few years ago, when visiting Sweden for work, I spent time with my Swedish and English coworkers. I taught them the meaning of "riding shotgun" and "calling shotgun." Do our non-Americans here know why "knock up" is funny to Americans? Do you know the terms Shag and shotgun? Do our non-Southerners here know the Shag? (I bet few Southerners even know the Shag, nowadays.) Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
