rumpo

rumpo
n
British
an act of sexual intercourse.
A 'smutty' euphemism first popularised by the ficti-tious folksinger and specialist in innu-endo, 'Rambling Sid Rumpo', played by Kenneth Williams in the Kenneth Horne radio comedies of the 1960s. In the 1980s the term was seen as an accepta-ble suggestive euphemism. It derives from 'rump' as an archaic verb meaning to copulate and from the noun as a syno-nym for tail, arse, etc. Rumpty-tumpty and rumpy-pumpy are elaborated forms.
► 'Susannah Hoffs is writing a "steamy" ro-mance novel. Packed with intrigue and rumpo, it will, she claims "put Jackie Col-lins in the shade".' (Smash Hits magazine, November 1989)
