A Louche Scaramouch

By Katanga

09 July 2008

I found the word 'scaramouch' while leafing through a dictionary this morning, and find it quite delightful. But I can't find 'toosh' - think I know what it means, though!

I'm now behind NathanRoberts in the limerick queue!

Cheers!

John

A Louche Scaramouch

You may call me a rude scaramouch
Yes, I can be delightfully louche,
For I'd give my right arm -
You'd come to no harm -
Just to lay my left hand on your toosh!

Wonderfully suggestive.

That second line might run better with:

'Yes, I can be delightfully louche'

Urban Dictionary:

Toosh: 'a small slang word used for butt/or ass'

wonder what the big slang word is?

Much Better!

Thanks Rob - the stresses fall naturally now. They certainly didn't before and that line bugged me!

'A small slang word' Hilarious!

The big slang word?

'smackintoosh' cf 'mackintosh', derived from the same roots.

Cheers!

John

Brilliant

As Fellpony said, there is something intrinsically rude and suggestive about the limerick form.
Great use of words

Hmmm - You've got the men on GW a bit worried John! But not the women. I see it can be spelt as "tush" also. So tush rhymes well with "blush". Come on - try another one with "tush" and "blush". That should be easy for you. You're just getting into your swing with the limmericks now. PS What rhymes with "rain"? Will it never end? ha ha

Hmm

The spelling I know is the same as Josie's but it certainly doesn't mean "butt" in our house but something far more personal! If your meaning is the one I know, this was decidedly louche of you, John!

... Nice and suggestive! Keep it up.
