    So when I got to work I asked what it meant: "from behind", yeah OK, so what's the problem?

    Some months later in a more intimate mileau I discovered it's meaning is more like "doggy style"
    I'd have guessed bagfra vas a variant of "bag frau" or "bag lady", which would have explained why the lady gave you an odd look.

      Taking the present Mrs B's grandmother shopping a few weeks ago, she wanted some bird food for her garden birds, so we went into the local pet superstore place.

      She walks up to a young lad stacking the shelves and asks him :

      "Excuse me love, have you got fat balls?"

      Him : Goes bright red and doesn't know where to look.
      Her : Doesnt bat an eyelid.
      Us : Trying desperately not to collapse in hysterics.

      Moral : Little old ladies who have been around long enough that they are past caring what anyone thinks are not to be trusted in public places.

        I remember one little old lady who used to frequent a pub I used.
        She came into the bar one evening.

        "....Cyril and I were picking blackberries all afternoon,
        Ooh, I've never had so many ****** in me......"

        <pub goes silent, she realises what she just said, goes bright red>

        "Oooooh!"
        <pub erupts>

          Does it happen to you much?
          I reckon he was watching a carry on film, fell asleep and dreamt it. Either that or he doesn't get out much.
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            In a staff meeting I was attending, the manager said stunning cnuts instead of cunning stunts!

                    Your grandmother is Mollie Sugden and I claim my five Grace Brothers' gift vouchers.

                    I once went into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre, so he gave me one.

                      My mother-in-law is from West Yorkshire and she frequently uses the phrase "Hard On" to indicate someone who is fast asleep.

                      Even after hearing it for over 20 years I still snigger when she says it!
