Thanks for that link, Faldage! Great fun!
Now, does anyone know the number of the club in modern golf that corresponds to the niblick?
I learned niblick when I started to play in the '40s and I think it's a wedge but not sure.
Anyone golf?

Is the expression "to get your leg over" used in US, Zild, and other languages?
Yep.

** Is the expression "to get your leg over" used in US, Zild, and other languages?What does it mean? I've never heard it up here in the wilds of Canada! [off-to-hunt-some-moose-e] (Actually, I've never been hunting, but I had to make that believable somehow!  )

"to get your leg over" means to score, to have sex with. Typically used in a guys conversation, as in "Looked like you pulled last night Jim. Did you get your leg over?"

Ewwww. I'm sorry I asked. Here I think you would hear "Did you get any?" or "Did you get some?" However, since I'm not a guy, I'm not totally sure. Chicks (at least the ones I am friends with) don't talk quite as...vulgar-ly?

leg over easy....Chicks (at least the ones I am friends with) don't talk quite as...vulgar-ly?but being a sensitive (or at least sensitised!) soul, at least I refrained from making puns about Oeufelia being a chick or a bird.  Rod

[bad pun e]
Rod, that one slipped out. I usually refer to my girl-friends as chicks. That's connected in a way to the "Name your sex" thread. I dislike most of the readily available words for "persons of the female persuasion". There just isn't a female equivalent to "guys".

Not wishing to revive any done and dusteds and too lazy to find the proper post, I will just point out that this week's New Scientist http://www.newscientist.com has 3 articles on Gender, mainly on the Intersexed.
