Hi,A netter on Bugandanet set the record right as to the origins ogf the slang "Uganda Discussions", meaning sexual intercourse.Here is the skinny:Why Ugandan Discussions?
DISCUSS UGANDA "vb. British. to have sex. A euphemism coined in the 1970s by the British satirical magazine 'Private Eye.' It has become one of the magazine's long-running jokes and is said to stem from a party at which a female journalist was alleged to have explained an upstairs sexual encounter by saying 'We were discussing Uganda.' (Idi Amin¢s regime was in the news at the time.)The term 'Uganda Affairs' is also derived from this source." From the "Dictionary of Contemporary Slang" by Tony Thorne (Pantheon Books, New York, 1990).Quote from The Phrase Finder
