A few months ago, I read an article in a UK newspaper which listed 20 words which it claimed young people didn't know the meaning of anymore. As a fight-back against this dumbing-down of the language of Shakespeare, Austen and Dickens, I made a rash promise to write a sex story which used all of these words. Chapter 2 of "Private Shows Are Extra" - which I've just submitted for approval on StoriesOnline - is that story.
To help you, the words are as follows:
Sozzled
Cad
Bonk
Wally
Betrothed
Nincompoop
Boogie
Trollop
Bounder
Balderdash
Henceforth
Yonks
Lush
Tosh
Swot
Brill
Kerfuffle
Randy
Disco
Minted
I admit that one or two of them sound a bit out of place in a contemporary story, but I hope that doesn't detract too much from the action. And I think the context makes clear what they all mean. It would be a great shame if words such as "bonk", "trollop" and randy" dropped out of common use, don't you think?
