Even squirrels deserved their privacy, the dirty little devils. (BOS)
‘I can promise you that there will not be any hanky-panky, because I do not know what a panky is and I’ve never had a hanky. Only a wipe.’ (Do)
‘It’s a bit tight in the crotch,’ said Dodger.
‘Then don’t think naughty thoughts until it stretches,’ said Jacob. (Do) 'All her clothes might fall off. I am sorry about this, but it appears to be a by-product of the whole business of poetry.' (UA)
… if there were two things the city liked, it was tradition and goddesses, especially if the goddesses were a bit short on chiffon above the waist. (UA)
'You two have a history, I think,' said Nutt.
'You are a sharp one, aren't you? Quiet and sharp. Like a knife. Yeah, I suppose it was a history. I wanted it to be more of a geography, but she kept slappin' my hand.' (UA) 'I have a very fast metabolism,' said Nutt.
'I don't mind about that,' said Glenda, 'so long as you don't go showing it to people.' (UA) 'Words have sex in foreign parts,’ said Nanny hopefully. (WA)
The person on the other side was a young woman. Very obviously a young woman. There was no possible way that she could have been mistaken for a young man in any language, especially Braille. (Ma)
The subject of wizards and sex is a complicated one, but as has already been indicated it does, in essence, boil down to this: when it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. (S)
Magic! So that’s what it felt like! No wonder wizards didn’t have much truck with sex! (LF)
Artists and writers have always had a rather exaggerated idea about what goes on at a witches’ sabbat. This comes from spending too much time in small rooms with the curtains drawn, instead of getting out in the healthy fresh air. (WA)
'And are you omnipotent?’
‘Aye, lass, but there’s pills I’m takin’ f’r it!' (LH) There was no point freezing your nadgers off on top of some mountain while communing with the Infinite unless you could rely on a lot of impressionable young women to come along occasionally and say ‘Gosh’. (Ma)
Nanny rather liked the theatrical world. It was its own kind of magic. That was why Esme disliked it, she reckoned. It was the magic of illusions and misdirection and foolery, and that was fine by Nanny Ogg, because you couldn’t be married three times without a little fooling. (Ma)
The sudden appearance of a naked woman always caused a rethink of anyone’s immediate plans. (J)
She was leaning against the doorframe, like an attractive yawn on legs. (GO)
Courting is always difficult when the one being courted has an elderly female relative in the house; they tend to mutter or cackle or bum cigarettes or, in the worst cases, get out the family photograph album, an act of aggression in the sex war which ought to be banned by the Geneva Convention. (GO)
... Spike could move like a snake trying to sashay, and the severe, tight and ostensibly modest dresses she wore left everything to the imagination, which is much more inflammatory than leaving nothing. Speculation is always more interesting than facts. (MM)
... she’d spent the night in a man’s bedroom, and Lady Deidre Waggon had a lot to say about that. She was technically a Ruined Woman, which seemed unfair given that, even more technically, she wasn’t. (MM)
'They’re paid to be ogled at,’ said Moist. ‘They are professional ogles. It’s an ogling establishment. For oglers.' (MM)
The price of a good woman was proverbially above rubies, so a skillfully bad one was presumably worth a lot more. (MM)
'... a mistress was expected to be a woman of accomplishment in those days.’
She sighed. ‘Now, of course, the ability to spin upside down around a pole seems to be sufficient.' (MM) '... when I was a young girl, a young man nearly threw himself off the Lancre Bridge because I spurned his advances.’
‘He did? What happened?’ ‘I unspurned ’em.' (W) |
