Subject: RE: euphemistic for sex? folk songs?
Hi Geoff, what are you thinking is euphemistic about the Tailor's Britches? It does mention briefly the 'cuckoo's nest' but almost as a throwaway, more a cliche than a euphemism. The song is certainly not based around euphemism. I'd say it was quite explicit.
