Today's WWD, "sexcentenary", and the theme of red herring words, raise the question whether any further words appear that they must surely mean something lewd.

I am of course too circumspect to proffer suggestions. But to quote one of my favor poets (1902):
But if I do not tell the same
Pray count it not a crime
...
Yet spare me from remarks injurious:
I will not leave you foiled and furious.
If something must proclaim the answer,
And I cannot, the title can, sir!
---
The Moral is: All said and done,
There's nothing new beneath the sun:
As many times before, a title
Is incapacity's requital!

Speaking of "sexcentenary" reminds me of a numismatic jest: A very large imitation coin, with a big rooster on the face, with words "One cock" and on reverse "Good for one c-nt".
