It's a common euphimism in the UK. It means they 'bum' each other.
That is, have anal sex in the manner of homosexuals.

Good point, I'll do it in the back yard. Get a couple of "comedy" max r crosses burning while I'm on.

Yeah, it's like Butt Buddies, but if Lord Mayor Topham Hat said it. That's whatfor the all caps and the q-mark: "Sir Topham Hat, why are you being so cheeky?" But I didn't want to say that because no one is hated more than an incorrigible bi-dialect punner. I am okay with buttsecks havers of all gender! :D

hell of xps

it's kind of usually meant as homophobic guyz :/

Godwin's 2nd Law states that if somebody calls you on it, you were being ironic.

Noodle Vague, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't know about that one, either!

Abbott, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

Every time I see the three of them taking the piss out of each other it reminds me of an ad for "WKD". Especially last night when Clarkson and Hammond were rearraning the letters on May's car so that it read "Kevin" or something.

Clarkson is an anti-intellectual of the highest order. Whilst he does claim to be a big fan of engineering, he's obviously not a big fan of actually understanding how things work...

Stone Monkey, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 13:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Sir Topham Hat, why are you being so cheeky?

I really can't imagine Sir Topham Hat saying "bum chums". Even though he's fictional.

Whilst he does claim to be a big fan of engineering, he's obviously not a big fan of actually understanding how things work...

I seem to remember him being a big fan of Brunel, who was a great visionary, but wasn't the first person you'd call if you wanted something that worked first time. I don't think he ever managed to design anything mechanical that was a success.

I can hear him in my head narrating the whole thing.
Now we'll of course have to put Hammond and May in the same situation and see who comes up with the best solution.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 December 2007 17:55 (sixteen years ago) link

"Gang". LOL.

"There is no evidence that a crime took place and therefore there will be no police action."

What sort of society is it where the writing and publishing of "The World According To Clarkson" is not considered a crime? A sick one, that's what.

Tom D., Thursday, 6 December 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link

see who comes up with the best solution.

Hammond would crash into them at 300mph in a rocket powered hamster wheel. May would bore them to death with a lecture about Meccano.

i am indeed, Boyler. of course it is more like two thirds gree hee hee.

it worries a bit me how much i enjoy watching Clarkson race May and Hammond around Europe in a Bugatti. but rest assured i will not let my enjoyment of this influence my political position.

blueski, Thursday, 3 January 2008 12:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I wish we had an old hardman conservative in the US who was one fifth as entertaining as Clarkson.

I really do.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 3 January 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Clarkson's not that conservative, is he?

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Well, Clarkson >>>> Nick Griffin, but he stands for something even more insidious and prevalent than the BNP: politically-unscrupulous libertarian smug.

Just got offed, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link

he apparently feels no compulsion to act all cryptic about his retrograde opinions, which might make him seem closest to american religious-right demagogues, but he seems more like kind of a libertarian. botw obviously

El Tomboto, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link

He hates the Iraq war though. And I get the feeling half his stances are just there for comedy anyway. (xp botw)

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 3 January 2008 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link

1. BOTW
38 up, 4 down

Bitch Out The Window. This term refers to a rarely seen maneuver in which a male participates in anal intercourse with a female whom is not well liked in front of or near a window. At the conclusion of intercourse, he opens the window and pushes his partner out.

For added fun, a bullseye can be placed on the ground outside the window by which you can judge accuracy, or perhaps even play cricket.

I really don't like Ewebee, someone should give her a BOTW.

Top post:

True fact: at the age of 10, I was in a school performance of The Wind In The Willows with Clarkson. I played Mole to his Toad. We did it semi-improvised. I wore a black polo-necked sweater. He was quite the am-drammer in those days. It's been downhill for us both ever since.

timely!

tbf, the book came out over three years ago. The fact that this is the first time anyone has noticed it exists points to how successful it was.
