OK, slightly off topic, but just look at these Norton Commando ads from the early 1970s. Whoever wrote the copy for these ads - Rideability ? Is this referring to the Norton or something else - genius!

[gstallons]

All those British bikes were righteous !  Reliable ......no.

In the same vein . . . somehow "breeding" could be involved!

[guzzler]

Think there might be more breeding than mechanical work going on in those er workshops....

[footgoose]

I'm thinking there was a direct correlation between advert sexual innuendo and how slow/fast a product was selling. 

but...

Is 'nookie' used in the US and elsewhere? Might just be a UK thing.

Can't speak for the whole country, but "nookie" was a common word where I grew up in rural western Kentucky in the 1960's.

Yeah, I've heard the word in Australia, back in the day. Probably in the 60s, and possibly only from people a generation older than me.

Yeah, back in the day, during the 60s & 70s, it was a word we used a lot. In fact in my later teenage years the pursuit of this activity seemed to be the main aim in life

This was a particular favorite.  I shared the magazine in 8th grade English class.  A rotten friend took an eraser to it and erased her eyes.  I was relieved a few months later when they brought the ad back.

They forgot the final line in the add. "The bold way to make time" in the workshop up to your arse in oil and broken engine parts"

There is the matter of the point in time it must come off . . .

See, that's why they didn't take you for the job. To the professional eye, it is obviously gaffer tape, not insulation tape.
