The S word has Feces. The D word has Penis. The T word has Breasts, and the A word has Butt (from Buttocks). These are examples of "bad" words that the imperialistic, wealthy Normans disapproved of because they were peasant Anglo-Saxon words instead of Norman French.

Is there a single verb equivalent of the Anglo Saxon "to F"? The closest I can think of is "to have intercourse with" or "to have sex with".

Ah there we go. Thanks!

Slightly different though...copulate with X, not just copulate X...

To "know"? ๐Ÿ˜›

I just realized that the other words are nouns.

Does a man mate a woman or mate with a woman? Or both? and what about girl on girl action...

Whew...gettin' warm in here...

...or man on man...

OK, it's cooled down again.

"breasts" and "butt" are not Anglo-Saxon?
