Come to think of it--even the British "naughty" terms are somewhat discrete: I was sitting at a bar (in U..S.) with an acquaintance from outer-London who was living here. Although a dapper businessman, he was fidgeting for a minute in his chair. He said, "No mind, mate. Me tackle is a little tight in these skivvies".


I looked it up, (yes, bnaughty, I REALLY did...) and sure enough, tackle was used quite a bit for a reference to a man's junk, back in the day. How do you like me now?? laugh

The truth is very different, more like the TV show Shameless.
