	MrPedantic  +  218708 Sat, 22 Apr 06 12:48 PM Hello Antonija This might be better translated by the idiom "to swing from the chandeliers", which implies unusual and adventurous sexual positions. So: "...while with his mistress he swings from the chandeliers..." MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris... Idioms

	Antonija  +  219024 Sun, 23 Apr 06 06:37 PM Hi, Isn't that the point of this forum-every day we learn more and more about the language. So, at least I have an excuse for my 'salacious' posts. Antonija
