CLUCKY

More proof that the Brits are daffy c**ts and the Aussies a tad less so, though both are daft examples of latter humanity in the endtimes. Our own staid example proves that our staying power has long subsided as well.
 
CLUCKY

Pregnant. In Australia this euphemism comparing a pregnant woman to a brooding hen has been used by women since 1941. Our American equivalent is ON THE NEST. A more jocular British variant style alludes to pregnancy as THE RESULT OF A LARK IN THE PARK AFTER DARK (pub slang, ca. 1930)



from The Wordsworth Book of Euphemism by Judith S. Neaman & Carole G. Silver
