Welcome to sex ed, language arts edition. It's not always easy to talk about sex without resorting to euphemism, so it's no surprise that some of our best slang is sexually charged. Do you know buff from a boff, or boinking from bejonkers? Take my quiz to see if you can go all the way.

6/7. I didn't think "ball" was a slang word for sex. Those are not something you hear everyday. Yeah, I was balling my girlfriend or whatever. Haha.
13/7... i'm really not 'down with the kids' anymore.
also i call people 'cupcake' as a term of endearment- i hope people don't think i'm saying they have a hairy woo
26/7, meh... but, um, around here diddling means you're doing it to a child, it's not really "sexy" slang at all... a diddler is not someone who masturbates, it's a pedophile!
34/7 the last question reminded me of a list my friends and i made in high school about all the different ways to say masturbate
4chrstne.. i also missed the first one, never heard it referred to as that either.
56/7 for me...ha
Ball is slang for having sex?!?! NEVER heard of that one but I got the rest
6i thought a banana hammock was a man-thong...
7jenintx- i think it's a speedo isn't it?!
8princess consuella banana hammock
gotta love friends.
Haha are some of you under 30 or something to never have heard "Ball" as an euphemism for sex?
7/7 - but I guess it's just my age showing.
94/7
10Honeybrown - I am under 30. So I guess it was before my time
11Ah, thank the nonexistent Gods I didn't get 7/7, exposing how much of an influence Beavis & Butthead really had on me (do kids these days know Beavis & Butthead?).
12From the photo, I see that Altoids is expanding their brand.
13And Phil-
Heh heh heh. I am the great Cornjulio! Errrrr, I do.
14wow, 7/7...
15I totally own those Go Deep mints. They're on my bedside table. They are awesome hehe
16I'm under 30...I definitely learned 'ball' from the Tenacious D song, F*** her Gently ("I'm gonna ball you...discretely!")
17I'm never going to think of "boffing" (fighting with foam foam weapons, medival style... often used in Renfair, cosplay or LARP situations) the same way again...
18Yes, these slang words are old, like me. Does anyone know the song "Good golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball"? Little Richard, right? I'm not that old but I do like 50's music. I got 7 out of 7. I was afraid before I started I wouldn't know any of them because they would be newfangled slang. Boy was I wrong!
19OMG, I can't believe I got them all right!
20Superjules I remember hearing/singing that song but never knew that's what it meant.
RE: score...5/7 Educational, I suppose but maybe I really didn't need to know...lol The devil made me do it!
21ouch! 4/7 :/
226/7 While most of you lot haven't heard of "ball", I haven't heard of "boff".
23I don't know, anyone can make up their own nickname or own slang for pretty much anything. I think this quiz is bogus.
24i got a 4/7 hahaha
25I have referred to my, ahem, area as a cupcake.
26i thought i did good for not trying to keep up with this slang
275/7 here.
28OMG....1/7.... :/
29Sooo proud of my 5/7. I'd be a little ashamed if I'd gotten them all right.
304/7, not horrible... learned some new stuff
31In high school a bunch of girls made shirts that said "Kyle is my baller" or whoever their boyfriend on the basketball team was. The teachers freaked out telling them is was a euphemism for sex. They were shocked because back then baller really was commonly used to describe a basketball player. But the administration sided with the teachers. Since high school I've heard the term ball more often used to describe sex.
32dude yeah little richard glad im not the only one who remembered that ,nuzzle the fuzz? that sounds gross!
337/7 - Im not sure which of these three things is most disturbing -1) that I got all 7 WITHOUT guessing 2) That I could actually explain he origins of at least half of these terms 3) That I could think of half a dozen MORE terms right off the top of my head. There's therapy in my future.........
34I got them all right, too. Like superjules, I have now got Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly" in my head. LOL! He somehow got that one through the censors in the late 1950s! (They thought it was a dance, well, sorta.)
"Ball" was common use word for sex from at least the 30s through the 60s. I expect most of the kiddies didn't get this one, unless they listen to Classic Rock. (I KNOW Led Zeppelin had to use this word somewhere.)
