Fucking has been given many cutesy euphemisms—“nookie” or “knocking boots,” for example—but none are as cringe-worthy as the one in a new Times of London article. In a piece about why watching television is killing couples’ sex lives, a British columnist referred to sex as “sweeping the special chimney.” No, we’re not joking. And as you might expect, Twitter responded in kind.
One hilarious tweet said, “this study is now irrelevant because the phrase ‘sweep the special chimney’ has single-handedly ensured i will never fuck again.” Another Twitter user responded with: “Sweep the special chimney; Load the magic washing machine; Scrub the mystic kettle; Clean the sensual oven; Mop the lovely hallway.” This proves Brits should never try a new word for sexy times ever again.
Looking for a little wink-wink nudge-nudge? Netflix and sweep the special chimney on NiteFlirt, anyone?
