Where did the phrase....

[Bbbananas]

... giving someone a 'good' rogering come from? Was there ever a Roger? If so, who was he?

[Shwizen]

Maybe it came from mixing the three words "Roger' 'The" and "Ring" which makes you wander what side this guy roger used to play for.

[rinkins]

Roger McGough?

[wendilla]

A derogetory term used among males to explain what they would like todo to a person whom they are attracted to! often refeering to sexual intercourse

[Bbbananas]

I doubt it was Roger Whittaker.... not in those jumpers.

I wouldn't say nay to a good rogering by roger black.

[mccfluffy]

i also thought it had something to do with sdailing, no idea why though

[mccfluffy]

*always not also* i'm going mad....

[another-view]

From c.1650 to c.1870 Roger was slang for the word "penis" probably due to the origin of the name involving fame with a spear.

Therefore "roger" became slang for "have sex with".

[rinkins]

Phwoar yeah Roger Black yes please!

[ChuckFickens]

it has old Germanic origins, from the old German word rod (fame) and gzer (spear) so roger means famous with a spear...

Well I can see the link to giving a good rogering from that :)

[rinkins]

That reminds me I just heard a fosters advert on the radio

"get some Australian in ya"

[rinkins]

[rinkins]

Jolly rogering now that sounds fun!!

...I really ought to think of a back up name for when I get banned....

[jno]

"Excuse me, but do you have any Jamaican in you?

Would you like some?"

[Sqad]

Never heard of the term until I came onto AB. "To make love "was a term that I saved for the fortunate one(s)

[Bbbananas]

Funny - I've just come back from sailing and had a Jolly Rogering (or two..) but not from someone called Roger.

However, a few years back I didn;t go sailing with a Roger... and he was jolly... but not was useless at rogering.

Does that make any sense?

[Sqad]

salla...for YOU...........yes (just)

vibra....LOL

[mccfluffy]
