Ugandan discussions

"Ugandan discussions" is a euphemism for sex coined during the early 1970s by the satirical British magazine "Private Eye".

The basis of the term arose at a party in London hosted by Neal Ascherson at which Irish moralist and journalist Mary Kenny, during her early, wild phase, spent some time upstairs with a former Ugandan government minister. On rejoining the other guests, Kenny explained their absence by saying they were "upstairs discussing Uganda".
— Where are they?
— I believe they slipped away for some private Ugandan discussions.

— She looks like she was dragged through a hedge backwards!
— She was upstairs discussing the situation in Uganda, allegedly.

Get your hole

To get sex.

In Ireland, a man may say he got his hole when he got some sex.

Women may appropriate the phrase to mean they got laid too, despite the fact that they are the party with the hole in question, but this is uncommon.
I got me hole last night; met this bird at a bar; she was great!

I saw you leaving the party with that woman. Did you get your hole?

Chuckle Brothers

The "Chuckle Brothers" nickname has been applied to Northern Irish former political enemies Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness who developed a mutually-tolerant working arrangement when the Northern Ireland peace process at the end of the twentieth century eventually led to the two of them working together. They surprised many when they were sometimes seen laughing together in public. The nickname was borrowed from an English comedy duo called the Chuckle Brothers.
So jovial do they appear that one Ulster Unionist has dubbed them "the chuckle brothers." (BBC report)

Route one

Route one means to drive a football towards an opponent's goal by a long kick upfield from the rear.

The technique is denigrated as an unattractive ploy by weak teams who lack the skill or confidence to move the ball along the field by talented play between team mates.

The long boot or "welly" by a goalkeeper or defending player bypasses many of the opposing players who may be dangerously skilful. It can be seen a shot in the dark, a hopeful search for a member of one's own team far upfield.
The goal came by route one; it wasn't pretty, but it counted just the same.
