[Big Fat Sam]

"Dick" in German means "Fat" or "Thick"

Scots and their meaning " Steamin " had me confused and shocked when i was a young adult chatting to two young Scottish ladies while on holiday. I think i was jizzin in me shorts when i asked " Will you be steaming later " and got the reply " Oh yes "

How disappointed was i when i realised it meant they were rotten drunk and not steaming for a shag.
