Thread Name: BS: Sexual gaffes
Subject: RE: BS: Sexual gaffs
""gaff - slang for house or place. e.g. "I'll meet you round my gaff in 10 minutes" and "He was all over the gaff" (all over the place). Originates from the 19th century when a 'gaff' was a slang term for a fairground or place of cheap entertainment.""

So, would we be talking about a bawdy house and the profession of lewdness? (bagnio, bordello, brothel, cathouse, crib, den, den of vice,disorderly house, dive, house of assignation, house of joy,
house of prostitution, joint, panel den, panel house,red-light district, sink of iniquity, sporting house, stew, stews,    tenderloin, whorehouse)?
