One somewhat oikish first RO, who fancied his use of English, once wrote about some hooting, roaring rip$hit singly, who chased every female with a pulse - describing him as 'Fg Off Bloggs is clearly one of nature's bachelors'....'.

Which is actually an obsolete euphemism, meaning (in the words of the time) 'Fg Off Bloggs is clearly a poof'....

Fortunately the second RO realised that his underling was something of a wanquerre, so was able to clarify that Fg Off Bloggs was actually a hard-working, hard-flying rogue with an eye for the girls...
