How about Ilkla moor baht tat? (It's on the Digitrad under this title. Or 'A Bunch of Thyme', which contains the line 'The sailor gave to me a rose' - a euphemism for venereal disease. For that very reason, a building called 'Rose Cottage' was to be found in many a dockyard, of olden days. There is also a Nic Jones song that references 'white tin' I think. Yet another euphemism for unsociable disease. | |||
