    Haha Xandria, I'll interpret for ya

    Chocolate starfish = anal (seldom used in england)

    cats wink, the same thing

    Trouser Snake = male anatomy

    Ming = female anatomy (always used in England)

    "stirring" usually just means causing trouble, the porridge bit is seldom used but I can guess what that means.

    The food is all exact and used on a regular basis. Spotted Dick is cake, nice too. bangers & mash, sausage & pots, Bubble & Squeak is yesterdays dinner fried up.

    Scotch eggs are nice, just an egg rolled in sausage meat with breadcrubs. Haggis is Vile.

    Ok I may be told off for being rude here, but since we're on the subject of names for male and female genitals:

    Minge (pronounced as in "fringe") - is as far as I know a reference to a womans pubic hair. There is another word "minging" (pronounced as in "ring") which means someone is disgusting.

    Muffin - womans genitals

    Todger - Penis

    Fanny - not a bottom, its a womans genitals (I was SHOCKED when someone threatened to "kick" someones "fanny"!

    Tiggie - another word for female genitals (often used by children)

    Other words are probably used in america too....dunno! LOL.

    Sirona (lowering the tone for everyone....)

    Hi!

    Not from off this board really, but I spent most of my youth reading P.G. Wodehouse instead of the "Truth" book, so I confounded my first wife by constantly referring to our apartment as a "flat" and saying that this certain elder was "barmy" or another had "his knickers in a twist"!
