Getting off or Snogging?

[Laser]

Me and a friend were having this arguement eariler. He was saying how he 'got off' with all these girls at a party when I piped up and commented on the fact that getting off with someone means having sex or taking pleasure (usually sexually) in somthing.

Needless to say this started a minor arguement on the use of "getting off" in that context, which only resolved itself when I had to use urbandictionary to look up the defination.

But now I have noticed that nearly everyone where I live uses the phrase "getting off" in supposedly the wrong way.

Anyway my point being is that where you live, do you use Getting off or Snogging (or even somthing entirely different)?

[Sekto Springs]

I use the term 'getting off' universally for anything that gives one satisfaction.
In the sexual sense, 'getting off' is ejaculation/orgasm.

I remember watching Terminator 3 for the first time and feeling highly disturbed upon learning the Connors had gotten off together in a garage at the age of twelve.

[Laser]

Dammit, now I don't know which you mean

[Wings of Fire]

It was years later til I learnt that 'getting off' and 'making out' mean snogging with a slight bit of ameteur doctoring.

We tend to call it cafoodling over here.

Now that is the best word for it ever.

"Dude I cafoodled so many girls at this party last night"

Win.

[OddjobAbe]

It is an incredibly fantastic euphemism. That and "dickory-docked".

[Alcar]

Getting off = Orgasm
Hooking up = Kissing

I did both last night. In a park

Alcar...

[Hobo]

Getting off = Orgasm
Hooking up = Kissing

Alcar...

What the fuck is wrong with you?


Explain your post by this time tomorrow, while I think of a sliding scale of punishments depending on how good your answer is.

I don't actually want to know

In my neck of the woods, we have a variety of terms for sex. Whilst we refer snogging as "Getting into".

We're weird fuckers in Brizzie.

[Alcar]

I don't actually want to know

Too bad.

It involved penii.

Alcar...

[OddjobAbe]

I read that as "pencil".

[Nate]

Pretty much the same for me as Alcar. I mean, the terminology thing. Not the park-based social activities.

The term that has always confused me was 'with', as in "So I was drunk at that party and was with that horrible redhead guy". Insofar as I've been able to tell, it actually can mean both kissing and sexing and at times the term will be used specifically when ambiguity is desired.

[Sekto Springs]

"Hooking up" in the US generally refers to casual sex. A hook-up being someone you're not necessarily involved with, but are mounting them all the same.

Bahahahaha. Shenanigans.

[Pilot]

Oh hey look who's back.

[Taco]

With the people I hang out with:
getting off = jacking/wanking
snogging = not used at all
hooking up = shoving your tongue down someone's throat

EDIT: oh and we also use the base system a fair bit

[Leto]

what a stupid thread/keep it to the sex thread.

[looney-bin]

What about crying myself to sleep? What does that count as?

[Leto]

it depends whether or not you are crying yourself to sleep in a sleepingbag or not

[Taco]

That depends, do you wank before, during or after? Wanking always makes me feel better when I'm blue.

[Nate]

EDIT: oh and we also use the base system a fair bit

Maybe this deserves its own thread, but can you explain to me what each of the bases is meant to represent? No-one I've ever asked can agree on what they are.

[Taco]

What we've generally agreed on within my group of friends is:

First Base-making out/french kiss
Second Base- Handjob/Fingering/Dry sex
Third Base- Head/Eating out
Fourth Base- (Home base) intercourse. Anal is sometime refered to as fifth base

I wonder if anyone uses a cricket number-of-runs system?

[Ridg3]

Being lonely...

Where I live we used "went with" someone for example, "Dddduuuuuudddddeee, I went with some hot doll last night." And we have a variety of sayings for having sex like tanking, banging, nailing and destroying...it's kinda like D.I.Y warfare.

[OddjobAbe]

How about fumigating, anodising or ducting?

[MeechMunchie]

Hanky-panky and knoodling. The 'k' is not silent, it's pronounced k'noodling. My butler will stand by me with that while he polishes my monocle. Obviously I could list hundreds of suggestive words, but that's not really what the thread's about. Look at me, Mr. Spam-conscious.

[Oddey]

I don't really call it anything except for kissing. Or the joinging of lips if I want to sound clever.

As for intercourse and such, I just tend to say all kinds of words that are usually followed by "if you know what I mean." I generally avoid this whole talking about romantic things, because I get the feeling that people will accuse me of being perverted if I do. Pretty stereotypical.

It kind of surprises me that this is even a thread.

[Sekto Springs]

First Base-making out/french kiss

Fuck that.
My god does the dating scene suck.

[Wings of Fire]

Eating out sounds so vulgar.
