what 'shag' does or DOESN'T mean?

Totally agree, I curse and cuss all day long, but a reference to the 'f word' on comic relief before 9pm is totally unneccessary.

Jeez , I feel old........but correct.

Kids going to be right now for that exact reason! Couldn't believe it just before 8pm "what's a shag" my 7 and 5 yr olds asked me!.......
 


The common cormorant or shag
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason you will see no doubt
It is to keep the lightning out,
But what these unobservant birds
Have never noticed is that herds
Of wandering bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

Christopher Isherwood



You may, of course, have to tell your kids more about Mr Isherwood. Good luck with that.

Beat me to it Lord B. Reading that reminded me of "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear" and "Little Arabella Miller". And I went to school in Bracknell.

When I lived in South Carolina there'd always be posters up advertising 'Shag on the Beach' and similar. People couldn't understand why I kept chuckling
