country matters

old slang term for sexual relations.

I write separately only because it would be a shame to not quote Shakespeare on this one.

Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
Ophelia: No, my lord.
Hamlet: I mean my head upon your lap.
Ophelia: Aye, my lord.
Hamlet: Or did you think I meant country matters?
Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.
Hamlet: That's a fair thought, to lie between maid's legs.

country matters

Sexual relations. Used in Hamlet. A pun on the word "cunt." One of the few dirty jokes in Shakespeare that high school kids immediately get.

Hamlet: Did you think I meant country matters?
