Addendum - a quick Gmail search turned up one use of "gang bang" which was quoted in response a few times; it was in the thread "[Pd] pd-competition?". I'm not exactly sure what it was referring to. I suspect it was a play on the word 'bang'.
<br><br>Another quick Gmail search turned up one use of "wet dream", but now that I look that was actually in the Nosi-discussion list. It was, coincidentally, a comment made by a woman, one of the most active people in NOSI.
