Getting one's rocks off.

[ucci]

The title? Have no idea what it means. Over heard some young person say it at the local shopping mall, and noticed how all his friends sniggered in response. I thought it must be funny and so I thought I would use it! Mind you, they did look a bit like unwashed ferals. Have I done the wrong thing in so doing? .
Anyway, these are some volcanic rocks I saw when I was totally lost at a dreadful spot called Ruffy, desperately dealing with savage natives, hunger, thirst, deprivation, and wounding sarcasm from a less than happy Mrs. ucci, trying to fight my way back to civilization, well Seymour anyway, and the safe comforts of home, knowing full well that my wife was never going to let me forget this particular directional transgression. Women can be so unforgiving in what many of us blokes consider to be nothing more than a trivial misadventure
So, that's the 'story' behind this post. Who would have thought so much drama could be read into a pile of old rocks lying about in a paddock?

Ken I can't help you with the title but I suspect it's something that you or I are unlikely to experience at our "time of life".

Nice rocks!

What? Becoming an unwashed feral?

Yes, well, er, um! Maybe it's a British term. But it does mean what I think Dave thinks it means.

What? Becoming an unwashed feral?

No. LOL Not in joining the great unwashed but for plagiarizing their youth feral talk!

"Friend 1: How do you get YOUR rocks off?

Friend 2: I like to looking for great bargains on Ebay. How about you? "


Looks like I do qualify.

Went to that URL posted by Rob and saw the following, for which see below. All of which made me decide to keep 'my rocks on' as neither of these two activities carried all that much appeal.

Friend 1: How do you get YOUR rocks off?

Friend 2: I like to looking for great bargains on Ebay. How about you?

Friend 1: I prefer to go to the waterpark and ride the Aqua-coaster until I puke.

I think most people assume that definition #2 is the original derivation of the term. I always thought it was an American term. 'Rocks' is not really British. We don't mention it.

If you are 40+ (like me) then Urban dictionary is an absolute must.

Oh well. It must just be the preserve of the un-reconstructed west of Scotland male. We always did know how to behave with grace and aplomb.
