Beaver.

[shazzap]

Something Tonkatojo said to me on here about leading a sheltered life.
Though he couldn't be further off the mark, with the life i have had and the jobs i have done.

Well it got me thinking about one time when i went into work wearing a very nice tee-shirt which had the word Beaver on it.

All my work mates started laughing,[lol] i couldn't for the life of me think why.:roll:
They just kept going on about Beaver.
I eventually found out that this is a word used for a ladies private parts.
Now i am no prude but have never heard it called this before.:eek:It put me off the tee i can tell you.
Has anyone else had something like this happen to them.

I suppose with it being Elvis Presley's birthday, it would not be inappropriate to post this one.:lol:

Oh yes I recall an incident of clothing embarassment for a friend of mine, she worked quite high up for HBos and was doing a presentation for women in business, all smartly dressed you know suit and stuff, but as an under garment she was wearing the t-shirt I had got for her when we went up west on a day out before her wedding, the venue had shoddy air con and tempratures soared and everyone was stripped of their jackets...well everyone bar her, her t-shirt was from Tongue gift shop and declared her love for the afore mentioned place, this would have been inappropriate in the setting so she had to sweat it out! How I laughed when she told me this!

Another thing is sayings. It is surprising how they can differ within just a few miles.

when i was at work one day a male colleague was talking about going out on the town that night.

I said to him.
Are you going bagging off.

He looked at me with confusion in his eyes. I explained that where i grew up it meant.
Out on the pull.

What do you say?

When I was in the Merchant Navy, some of the naughtier sailors used to say that they were off ashore for a Bag-Off.
Perhaps if I had spent less time on my stamp collection, I might have learned what they were on about! [lol]

If ever you get a souvenir T shirt from Cockermouth in the Lake District dont wear it in Canal St in Manchester. (Unless you like that sort of thing):lol:

Ah, the mind-set of the male, eh! On a lighter note I once saw a brilliant T on a well endowed lady that had a poignant phrase printed across the front: "Twin Life Support Systems"

I must admit the word beaver makes me laugh. It reminds me of a sketch from Bo Selecta with the rubber faced version of Mel B.

Why? :confused

Do they like wet T shirt competitions there?

I saw a poster advertising beer in New Zealand.

It said;

Ahh Summer.

The tops come off, and the jugs come out.

I'm sure Frank Mcavennie would support the introduction of wild Beaver

[George Brims]

A certain Scottish comic on American TV got a big laugh recently talking about beavers being re-introduced to the UK, and the fact that a European beaver is quite a bit bigger than an American one. "That's why I moved here" he said.

And then there's the first picture on this link.
