Nicola Pietrangeli disliked his playboy image, but it was hard to gainsay it when he arrived for the final of the 1959 French Open in a Buick convertible with Paris’ most fêted stripper, Miss Candida, at the wheel.
Seriously, who else would name a stripper after a variety of the clap?
Er… the Spanish.
It’s not necessarily a transmitted infection either. It’s a yeast that’s usually already present in the body. The “infection” is when it reproduces in large quantities. All sorts of things can spark that off.
Furriners, eh? Ausfahrt always makes me laugh, even now. Years ago a pal came back from Vienna with a photo of two adjacent shops, one called Krapp, the other Wanke.
I once spent a night at the Hotel Fück in Leverkusen, just for the giggles.
You’re reminding me of the name of that suburb where the Hong Kong fire took place.
I’m wondering which Brit called it Wank Fuck—ooops Wang Fuk.
When I was introducd to a Chinese businessman in HK and looked at his card I had some trouble keeping a straight face – Wang King Yin
Thanks Throwback!!
There’s a village on Lantau Island in HK called Tong Fuk.
The German verb wanken (to falter, stagger, waver, dodder) was used in a recent book I was reading quite a lot. It conjugates even better, especially as the past participle is gewankt. So I got such delights as:
er/sie/es hat gewankt, sie haben gewankt, sie werden (will) wanken, er/sie/wankt.
On a similar theme, when I served in Germany we got a duty free fuel allowance in the form of a monthly coupons. These could only used in BP garages and the last/first BP garage when travelling to/from the ports was in Wankum.
I learnt the other day that Young Boys play at the Wankdorf Stadium (in Switzerland).
Tony Orlando?
Lovely name, Chlamydia.
“who else would name a stripper after a variety of the clap?”
Murphy would probably call her Miss Clapox.
