Subject: RE: Origins: 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot' Bawdy Gestures
For 'sweet' we used to make a bulge with our tongue in one side of the cheek and point to it with an index finger. (Indicating one was sucking a sweet, you see.) The Scots I knew at Uni used to sing this a lot in the Union bar, and at the time I didn't realise it wasn't just Scots who sang it!
