The Roman poet Catullus uses the word, ‘irrumabo’, to mean face-fucking, though the actual term derives from ‘ruma’, the Latin word for ‘udder’ … so we can translate, ‘Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo’, into, ‘I’ll sodomize you and make you suck my cock’, or, ‘I’ll sodomize you and make you suck my udder’ … either way is brilliant.

BELOW JOB: Victorian prostitute slang, from which we get ‘blow job’, which allows Bart Simpson to say, ‘I didn’t think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows’.

amazons always win, amazzonomachia, Italian sex term, quote unquote, who ever said sex terms lacked imagination?, woman rider

Love that is dead and buried, yesterday
out of his grave rose up before my face.
No recognition in his look, no trace
of memory in his eyes dust-dimmed and grey.

Our little baby fell asleep,
and will not wake again
for days and days, and weeks and weeks;
but then he’ll wake again,
and come with his own pretty look,
and kiss Mamma again.

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.
