Do you have the phrase "slap-and-tickle" to describe sex in the US, or is that just a UK thing?
Maybe just a UK thing. Odd phrase for describing sex. LOL I had heard it before but never really thought about how odd it is. We might say "fooling around" or "making out"...which I'm sure sound just as weird to your British ears. ") The UK idiom for sex that I really find strange is "put a leg over" or something like that. Yikes. LOL More on reddit.com

Like Le Gallois bilingue, I immediately thought of "how's your father", which has a similar meaning (although "how's your father" is more directly related to sexual intercourse than "slap and tickle"), but hasn't aged nearly so badly. I think "slap" is a word most modern people would recoil from. More on forum.wordreference.com
Slap N Tickle (Maitri)
Bought at Solevo in Sq Hill for $60. First time trying Maitri flower so didn’t mind splurging. Smells very similar to Prime Chem De La Chem (Chem Pheno). Nice earthy taste with a hint of grape and a good nighttime high. 7/10

Just to add to all these comments, America is a HUGE country so there's going to be a lot of variation. I've heard a ton of different variations of "Well X my X and call me X." It's what you say when someone tells you something interesting or unexpected, but only something either not very important or something funny/poignant. You wouldn't say it if something surprising happened that was BAD for you in a major way. "Ya know Susan who hates the Dallas Cowboys? She married a Cowboys football player!" "Well butter my biscuits and call me Betty!" This makes sense. "Can I stay at your house? A tornado hit my home and I don't have anywhere to live." "Well slap my ass and call me Sally!" This does not make sense. More on reddit.com

They never said that in Downton Abbey! Really a UK thing, but Americans would get it and laugh. I mean, there’s no shortage of cheeky euphemisms for the deed so people would get it right away if they never heard it before. It’s all about context and delivery, right?
