Mentioning that in public could raise a few eyebrows ... Just another example of how a perfectly innocent phrase changes meaning with changing generations. I remember reading an Agatha Christie mystery (set, of course, at an English country house) where a weekend guest decided that the best way to alleviate a fit of tedium was to make love to his hostess for a couple of hours. Not that it's a bad idea, but I doubt that's what Dame Agatha meant.
