The term Dogging in would create some very funny looks if you mentioned it in the office for a start!

Also the phrase that was said to me "can you send your dog for the big cock" !!!

Anything else to add?
 
Conversation with my mum at the weekend, which in hindsight now sounds a bit odd!! All names have been changed to protect the innocent ha ha.

Mum: Fred is taking Bob beating at the weekend
Me: Blimey, isn't Bob a bit young to be beating? I didn't think children were allowed
Mum: No, neither did I
Me: Just hope Bob behaves himself or he's likely to get shot and end up in A&E

Think we then went on to talk about Christmas trees and the pros and cons of buying too many mince pies!
 
I once had a cracking, if rather small Black Lab bitch by Swinbrook Tan called Wendy, anyway, I was picking up with her and 3 other dogs and sent her after a very strong runner that both she and I had seen hit the deck. She was such a brilliant little dog that she was one of the very few that I've ever known which you could send for a retrieve whilst the bird was still in the air (NOT that I ever did), and without affecting her steadiness. She never preempted one order that was given.

I'm wandering off the subject …. Wendy went off down the side of a shelter belt and was out or sight. I stood and waited and waited and when she eventually reappeared with a live bird, she was the wrong side of a 7' deer fence which had an extra coating of rabbit net attached and not a gate in sight. There was also a deep ditch. She stood wagging her tail holding the bird and looking up and down the ditch, I couldn't see how I was going to get to her.

"OH FFS Wendy you stupid bitch, How TF am I to get to you now?" I said at full volume. Behind me stood my employer and his wife, and guess what her name was? :D :D
