.... and the difference with "snog" is ?
I realize that it's not a drink
A "snog" is generally what I am led to believe is what a woman expects before the shag, whether or not following C in an A, following D. Please refer to the Haynes manual: "How to keep your own teeth when feeling frisky".

I'd only been in the UK a couple of years- and we were by a big lake where there were many bird watchers. I asked 'what is the difference between a shag and a cormorant' and somebody replied 'if you don't know the difference by now, me girl, you've got a lot to learn' and winked at my OH. I had NO idea what he was on about In the 70s the word wasn't used as much as today.

it's quite astonishing how many have no knowledge of the difference between the terms 'enrapture' and 'enamour'. Well, listen up, because you'll learn something. You use 'enrapture' to express enchantment and delight, whereas you use 'enamour' to bang nails in...
Cheers,
Nick

The common cormorant, or shag
Lays eggs inside a paperbag;
The reason, you will see, no doubt
It is to keep the lightening out
But what these unobservant birds
Have failed to notice is that herds
Of bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
In the 70s the word wasn't used as much as today.
