Okay, first time I’ve seen “s**g”, which I’m assuming is a daintyism for “shag”.

Such delicate eyes . . . is this from the original or an expurgation from the DTWW editor?

From the original source, of course. Use the site search to see that DTWW doesn’t shy away from earthy language.

‘A glossary note here: according to several newspapers, “roasting” is supposed to suggest the stuffing of a piece of meat. More likely, it seems to me, is that it refers to spit-roasting, with an insertion at either end.’

For what it’s worth, another source (not reputable, though) suggested that it had to do with “basting” the meat.

I first heard this word whilst in Singapore in 1968. It refered to one woman and two men.

One man takes either of the orifices at the rear of the woman and the other inserts his penis into her mouth.

Just like spit “roasting” a chicken.
