Today we have a smoking hot English lesson for you. That’s right, today we’re going to talk about sex.
WARNING: Although not the intention of this article, it may be OFFENSIVE to some readers. We understand that sex is a delicate topic for many people, and this article is meant to be more of a resource rather than an English lesson.
This is real life English, and sex is a topic that is quite popular to talk about among friends, whether in a funny, sarcastic way, or in serious conversation when talking about one’s relationship.
Learning about idioms, slang, and collocations for sex will really help your understanding of everyday English, as sex is a topic that often comes up in popular culture (music, TV), and more often than not, we use sexual innuendos [suggestive terms] rather than the more literal terms that you might already know.
This article will start with the most formal, literal terms for sex and move to the naughtier [more inappropriate] language that you need to be more careful with.
Each section will start with the most common terms, and end with those that you won’t hear very often. So, by the time you finish this article, you’ll know exactly what sex term to use, and when!
If you need to talk about sex, these terms can be used with pretty much anyone.
1. Have sex is by far the most common and appropriate term to use.
2. Make love is also a common term, but is usually used when you are in a relationship (that is, to have sex with a girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband).
3. Sleep with is a very appropriate term because it is so ambiguous. It doesn’t necessarily mean that two people have sex, but most people will assume that if you say you slept with someone there wasn’t actually much sleeping.
I can’t believe Monica slept with Chandler in that episode of Friends!
4. Have an affair is another synonym for sex that usually implies that it is outside of your relationship (that is, you are in a relationship and you have sex with someone other than your partner).
5. Do it this term isn’t commonly used by anyone older than about 12. Children will usually say, “do it” instead of, “have sex.”
6. Have relations is a less common way of saying sleep with. It doesn’t always refer to sex, but it usually does.
7. Fornicate is a funny, yet formal way to say sex. It sounds biblical/sciencey, so it’s not very common, but using it in conversation can be quite comical.
10. Engage in/have (sexual) intercourse is probably the term that your health or science teacher would use.
11. Mate is a term that you can use, but it usually refers to animals other than humans. You might hear it used in a biology class (Note: mate as a noun also means friend, and common collocations are roommate, flatmate, classmate, and workmate).

These terms aren’t too literal or graphic, and can be used in most friendly situations without offending anyone. It’s best to experiment with these words because it’s not always well received to openly talk about them.
12. Get laid is probably one of the most common ambiguous terms.
Bill got laid at that party last night!
13. Hook up is something that we say all the time in the U.S, but it is very vague and doesn’t always refer to having sex
14. Get lucky is a term recently made more popular by a Daft Punk song.
15. Get it on is an expression made popular by the Marvin Gaye song, but it sounds old-fashioned now.
16. Take (someone) to bed is a lot like “sleep with someone,” but a little more informal and obvious.
19. Go all the way is an expression that sounds a bit outdated; it was popular in the 1970s with this song.
20. Hit a home run is an expression that you might hear in the United States, as it is related to baseball. If you are familiar with the sport, then you might understand this sex-related terminology:
21. Hump is another term that sounds somewhat childish. Humping is the motion that you make thrusting your hips forward (like during sex).
22. Make babies is a pretty straightforward innuendo, although it isn’t always used literally (meaning that someone wants to reproduce).
You should probably only use these terms around people your age and friends. Again, experimenting with them is key because they’re not always well received.
23. Fuck is a term you probably already know, but to learn a lot more ways to use it, remember to read this article.
25. Fool around doesn’t always mean intercourse, but it definitely involves sexual play.
27. Shag is a British term similar to fuck. Sometimes it is used sarcastically in the U.S, but it’s not too common.
28. Root is an Australian word that’s similar to shag and fuck.
30. Ravish is a less vulgar way of saying to have intense sex (for example, ripping off each others’ clothes).
I don’t know why all of these girls want to ravish Ryan Gosling
31. Score is another term derived from sports, and is kind of out dated.
32. Put your P in a V (for Men) literally means to put your penis in a vagina. It’s not commonly used, but was popularized by the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
These terms are pretty graphic and you should only use them around close friends or not at all.
33. Screw is literally the act of turning a screw (see picture)
It’s obvious that you want to screw Jennifer.
34. Bang is the sound that a gun makes or to hit something hard (usually with your fists)
35. Bone is probably used because another word for erection is “boner.”
I can’t believe he boned his tutor!
36. Nail is similar to a screw, but to insert them you use a hammer.
37. Ride usually means to mount an animal… you get the picture.
38. Get nasty gives a rather dirty, vulgar image of sex.
39. Pound is similar to bang or nail; it’s a synonym for “to hit.”
40. Get a dicking is not a real word, but it makes a slang of the word “penis” into a verb. This usually refers to the female role in intercourse (NOTE: Dicking around means “to be wasting time” and is not sexual).
Whether or not you think this kind of language is appropriate, Real life vocabulary like this is important to know and understand because it is commonly used. Even if you choose not to use this kind of vocabulary yourself, which might be a safer decision, it can give you an insight into local culture if you are traveling or living abroad and into popular culture.
It doesn’t matter if you like this part of the English language, if you find it offensive, or if you use it yourself because it’s how many people really talk.
So remember to try to keep an open mind. This is real life English–that is, the English that we really use.

In this week’s ongoing series of articles on British Slang, we’re going to get personal and talk about words relating to sex and the bedroom. There are ample phrases for the male and female genitalia along with certain insults and phrases worth a giggle.
This list was a lot of fun to put together when we wrote our British Slang Dictionary last year – details on where to get it here!
Disclaimer! Some of these words are pretty PG rated but some of them are also extremely filthy. You’ve been warned! This list is for educational purposes and will certainly help frequent British TV viewers.
Did we leave anything off the list? Please share it in the comments below!
The words on this list were excerpted from Anglotopia’s Dictionary of British English: Brit Slang from A to Zed. Available now from major retailers in prints and eBook form. The book features over 1,000 British Slang words including extra sections on Australian and Kiwi Slang, Cockney Slang, London slang and more! There’s also a hilarious section on Britain’s rude place names. Full details here.
It might surprise many of you to know that the most popular articles on this website are about British Slang - the words that the British use differently than Americans (and to some extent Canadians). They’re so popular, we wrote a British slang dictionary that has sold very well (available…

Jonathan is a consummate Anglophile with an obsession for Britain that borders on psychosis. Anglotopia is his full time job and he's always dreaming of his next trip to England, wishing he lived there - specifically Dorset - and is always trying to figure out a way to move to England. It will happen one day. Keep up with him on Twitter here.
Y fronts are what the Brits cal tighty- whiteys.
I’ve never heard that expression in my life. What part of the country?
How about Kecks, as in sweaty Kecks. Undercrackers.. Or even grundies all for pants!
Grundies refer to dirty underwear and not all pants
The word Bint is Arabic for woman. Used as a slang word by British soldiers returning from the Middle East . Nothing derogatory about it.
Dirty Weekend- Dirty weekend is slang for a weekend spent having sex, usually away from home.
“Something for the weekend” – Used in barbershops in reference to a condom. “I’ll have a shave, a haircut, and something for the weekend, please.”
Bonking – general term for having sex
Knee trembler – doing it standing up
Did you leave anything off? No, I think you just about covered it, Jonathan.
Gob job – perform oral sex on a male
Cruising – the gay version of out on the pull, not necessarily in bars or club, but anywhere public
Cruising- to cruise, meaning to masturbate. Examples:
He’s been in there cruising for hours.
Stop cruising and get yourself stuffed!
Pants isn’t specific to women, unlike panties in the US
it might be good to add that “clunge” isn’t real slang in Britain. It was created by Channel 4’s comedy show ‘The Inbetweeners’ (the original version not the weird us one) and usage is quite low in real life!
My Dad said bint was Indian. He served on the Northwest. Frontier in the 1930’s, and picked it up there..,
My British/English husband of 39 years was a Grenadier Guard who saw service in the Middle East in the 50s, and he said ‘bint’ was Arab for woman.
I think this article is disgusting i spent my first 20 years there and I never heard half of these words
I also entered a comment saying how disgusting this article is. I see that my comment was not published on this site. wonder why?
I’ve not spent more than a couple weeks at a time in the UK and I’ve heard at least half of these.
Then again, I do have interesting friends.
If you found an article about slang in the bedroom disgusting, then I’d say you got your money’s worth, wouldn’t you?
If ya don’t like it, why’d ya keep readin it and then go on to leave a comment about it? I woulda left and not looked back if I were you.
I on the other hand thought this was quite funny! Gotta keep my friends guessin what I’m sayin hahahaha
You’re cracking me up JT! I know of an American guy whose real last name is Wank. He took a job in London and actually had to change his name!
There was someone where I live (I think he was/is a lawyer) named Richard Wacker. Think about that for a moment. A very prim and proper lady I used to work for said his name to me once and I cracked up.
Add “filthy”: usually means the person (male or female) is desirably attractive.
I saw some of these words written on a wall in the women’s room at the Penzance RR station about ten years ago. Interesting to see what was meant by that bit of creative blather.
Bunk up – going to bed/sex…bunk up in a Bedford = having it off in the back of a van!
My English husband used to say derisively of a person ‘he couldn’t run a free bunk-up in a brothel’.
Save time and just refer people to the Profanisaurus – http://www.viz.co.uk/profanisaurus.html
ah, Viz. A great British publication
I like your page, but your language posts are often wrong.
I’ll just mention the first.All fur coat and no knickers does not mean ‘A woman who looks good on the surface but has no substance’. It means a woman who has spent a lot of time and effort trying to persuade the world that she is something better / classier than she is.
There’s also regional variations. Born and bred Brit here, but some of these are almost unique to the Greater London area and rarely heard north of Birminham
Choke the chicken – slang for a wank
Stocking are hosiery used with a garter. Tights are like pantyhose.
Tights ARE the equivalent of pantyhose. What is referred to in the U.S. as a ‘garter belt’ is called a ‘suspender belt’ over there (I’m a Yank who was married to a Brit for 39 years). What we call ‘suspenders’ are ‘called ‘braces’.
Hilarious article, Jonathan – love it!
Finger a person’s arse………anger a person.
How about a bit of “How’s ya’ father? (Sex)
Tosser, male mastabator. Last seen on a restaurant salad cabinet on International Drive in Orlando, Florida where the managment had requested that ‘parties of 5 or more see the tosser’. I had to take him aside and explaian the word and why so many British tourist where falling about laughing, taking pictures and covering their childrens eyes.
A ‘tosser’ is one who ‘tosses off’ (equivalent to ‘jerk off’).
To tap off…..knock off….get lucky…pull .probs Northern Brit…but all meaning a pick up (for sex usually), generally from a pub or night club
Knock off also means stolen goods…as does fallen off the back of a lorry
To bang.= to have sex…but sadly to be banged up also means to have been beaten
Banged Up also means to be put in prison.
I’m a born and bred Englishman (NOT British), live in the north of England all my life, and as a previous commenter said, most of these are not said up north.
Well what about cunt for female genitalia of a more vulgar way to tell somebody you dislike to go away “fuck off you cunt”
What about “the o be joyful”? I heard that on a Foyle mystery. Is it old?Or just made up by that writer?
I’m from America. Since people in my country are now so easily offended by anything I have now started learning British English. Armed with new terminology I hope I can insult people and not offend them.
Fuckwit – stupid person
One eyed trouser trout – penis
Lady garden – female genitalia
Gurt lush – bristolian for very good
What is the rhyme in “strawberry creams”–“_________ dreams”?
