"naked pleasant" What a lovely term.

"I tried out a tanning bed on Sunday. It was naked pleasant. I plan to go once a week."

"Have you seen the beach at Pimlico? Naked pleasant. Great place to go on the weekend."

That'll teach her to keep her legs shut.

what's that about takin' a bath in nekkid pheasant plucking? Sounds like one of those backwoods inbred hillfolk things that Bobert looks forward to in November.

Whether tile or slate or shingle
As long as you are single
Go pleasant naked rolling on the roof.
You will hear the neighbours mutter
They'll end up in the gutter
When you go pleasant naked rolling on the roof
Although it may cause pain,
And you'll end up down the drain
Darling isn't this insane
Let's do it once again
Let's go pleasant naked rolling on the roof.

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms?

Roll me mama, like a wagon wheel
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Rock 'n' roll, mama,
Won't you rock me, mama?
Know how it could have made me feel

It's slate (it's slate)
We gotta get on home
It's slate (it's slate)
We've been gone too long
Too bad (too bad)
We shoulda checked our time
Can't phone (can't phone)
We done spent ev'ry dime
It's slate (it's slate)
We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's slate (it's slate)
We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (can't speed)
We're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong?

The latest expression to gain popularity in the UK seems to be the new term "naked pleasant", meaning "really not bad at all" or "a bit of allright". Funnily enough, it is used by people whom one rarely, if ever, sees naked, nor does it usually refer to nudity in any way at all and that's probably a good thing.

At any rate, here are several things I find naked pleasant:

1. a glass of port in the evening: naked pleasant
2. a drive in the country, hopefully involving running some wretched farmer off the road and into the ditch as one roars by: naked pleasant
3. a frightfully expensive dinner in Paris: naked pleasant
4. exterminating foxes and wildfowl on a sunny afternoon: naked pleasant
5. crushing one's business adversaries beneath one's heel, figuratively speaking: naked pleasant
6. humiliating one's underlings to remind them of their proper station in life: naked pleasant

None of these things are done while naked, but they are all quite definitely....naked pleasant.

p.s. Rolling on slate is not naked pleasant. Any fool can see that without even testing out the theory.

I personally haven't tried the "rock and roll" technique of inter-personal roofing. I imagine that it has some advantages and disadvantages over, say, sex on the beach.
The lack of sand in the sensitive bikini area might be offset by slate shards in the sensitive bikini area. No sand crabs, but roofing nails.
If it was slate they craved, maybe they should have stuck to pool tables.

The last time I 'shingled the rumseller's roof', it was way too hot to contemplate 'inter-personal' rolling of ANY kind.

Or is that a naked peasant rolling on the slate?



As for whether rolling on slate (natural geographic formation or manufactured roof) is pleasant, I'd say it depends on how hot the slate is -- plus the angle of the slope (if any) and how far it is to what's below, and what that might happen to be.

So many variables. Further research is needed.

Any volunteers for experimental subjects?

Perhaps the reason they were up on the roof was that they didn't want to do it in the street and frighten the horses.

If you don't want to go naked, try one of these on for size.

In collge we found a stream of waterfalls and whirlpools that were so polished that we could slide down the slate streams that we could slide for dozens of yards at a time in the shallow water coating the slate that looked like ripples of of water themselves.

Going over the falls like a slip n'slide was fun but the whirlpools are to be avoided. I think they connected to caverns.


Sliding slate naked was rather pleasant.
