Rod Brock's definitions

intercourse

Verbal communication between two people. Rarely used any longer in this sense because of the North American singular preoccupation with sex; it would evoke snickers at best, and gross misunderstanding at worst, in virtually any situation.

Our intercourse over lunch was less than pleasant, and we spent the rest of the day not speaking to each other.

flying mare

A wrestling maneuver where one's opponent is lifted vertically over ones head with his/her feet facing upwards, and then tossed down on the canvas upon his/her back. Looks painful, but the thickness of the canvas and the spring suspension of WWF rings absorbs much of the impact; it "stings" more than it bruises.

And the Baron executes a perfect flying mare, taking Gorgeous George down a notch or two!

bung

Differs slightly in meaning from the process of sealing a wine cask with a cork; it means not only to seal, but to bind, or constrain something, as well. The term "bungee cord" derives from this particular sense of the word.

When you remove the bung from a winecask on its side, or loose the bungee cords from an unstable load, things tend to "surge forth" explosively, in an uncontrolled manner. Thus did the late American poet e.e. cummings describe the passion of Picasso's art:

out of the
black unbunged
Something gushes vaguely

-e.e. cummings, "Picasso"
