In folk songs, the term "green gown" was used to describe a naughty act—which is where the phrase, "give someone a green gown" came from. 

And no, they weren't talking about the tennis player. They were talking about Venus, the Roman Goddess of love. 

Odds are, you've heard this euphemism before. It's old, but it's well-known. Probably because of how visual it is. "Make the beast with two backs" refers to a couple having

sex in the missionary position and being so close to each other that they basically become one, single creature. 

What the hell is a couch quail? I'm assuming whoever created this phrase wasn't referencing the bird. 

According to the dictionary, a "crupper" is a strap that's buckled to the back of a saddle underneath the horses tail. Soooo, sounds like this euphemism is referencing anal sex

more than anything else. 

This euphemism isn't too off message. At least it references something bedroom related — the sheets!

As I'm sure you know, making butter back in the day was no easy feat. 

So, if you're making butter with your tail that probably means you're giving it all

you possibly can in between the sheets. Which means the sex is most likely bomb. 

Back then, "nug" probably meant something different from what it does now.

I thought fadoodle was just another word for penis. Maybe because it rhymes with "noodle"?

Jesus! I'm not sure I would be comfortable using this euphemism. "Put the devil into hell" sounds scary AF. 

This phrase is way too long and verbose. Although, it does have a nice ring to it. 

This is an interesting way to say you're fingering someone. I like the "in a peculiar river" part because the vagina can be very peculiar indeed.

This sounds very pig-related and I can't hang with that. What is this, an episode from "Black Mirror"? No one is doing anything sexy with a pig. 

Umm...this sounds painful.

St. George was a real person who allegedly rode a dragon. So, if you're having sex with a guy (and you're on top) you're riding a dragon upon St. George. Sounds

classy, doesn't it?

I'm really confused on what this one even means! Night physic? Like, night medicine? 

I had to look up the meaning of "paunches" to really understand this one. Paunches are stomachs. So to join paunches is to join stomachs. 

Barnaby is a fast-paced dancer that usually has some choppy and uneven movement. Yup! Sounds just like sex. 

I mean, this one is just creepy! 

No comment. This one seems pretty self explanatory. Lol.

Did anyone else read this and wince?

Gluttony is greed. And back in the 1700s (maybe this is still relevant now) sex was seen as greedy.

I'm like 99% sure my grandmother used this euphemism when she described her sexual adventurous. And she's 92. 

Honestly, this one just sounds super super disgusting.

Could you imagine saying this every time you wanted to have sex? Talk about a tongue twister. 

Gosh, this is dirty! Having your corn ground references corn actually being ground (and pounded). Corn is supposed to be reflective of a woman's vagina, I assume. Not sure if this

sounds too good though. I wouldn't want my corn ground.

Sex does resemble a dance. There's definitely a rhythm to it, as long as both people aren't offbeat (if you catch my drift). 

This euphemism is one I can definitely see guys using all the time. 
Dude #1: Did you get it?
Dude #2: Yeah dude, I possess the lily now.
Gross. 

How classy does this one sound?! Leave it to the 1800s to make sex and dating sound like a romantic business agreement.

This one is actually kind of cute. Face-making obviously references the so-called point of sex, to create a baby (or, make a face). 

Fun Fact: Bushy Park is actually a park in London. But even still, I don't think people were always talking about the park when they used this euphemism. 

Next time you have an orgasm, say you just blew your lump and see how the person in your bed reacts. 

Want to make some baskets tonight? Wink Wink.

I LOVE THIS EUPHEMISM. I intend to use it all the time. Tonight, I want a horizontal refreshment. Tomorrow, too. And maybe next Saturday at noon.

If you "brush" with someone, that means you had a one-night stand. The sex was casual. Just a quick little brush. 

And by parsley you mean...?

Not sure where this phrase came from but I get it. The vagina and the penis aren't pretty at all. In fact, they're pretty damn ugly. 

Giblet pie is an actual term for a, you guessed it, giblet pie. It's an England thing and it's disgusting. 

Yikes, this sounds painful as heck. And is this another old-time reference to anal sex? Anal sex must've been all the rage back in the day.

Now, this is just gross. For those of you who don't know, "burping the worm" is another word for masturbate/ejaculate. While I'm not sure how long the term has been

in use, I had to include it on here because it's just so weird.
