I can't stop laughing about this...i wonder what Mrs Twatface's maiden name was? It must have been truly horrendous.🙄🙄🙄 I'm going to check the Australian white pages on the web to see if there are any twatfaces here...will report back...

ok, i'm back. Australia seems to be free of Twatfaces, although I suspect that if there were any, there's a good chance they'd have a silent number. The Devon couple were brave to be listed...

or you find a work gang where ... "the guys are laying the sod" !😕😀
Ok, I admit it, I'm not sure I get it. Do you mean 'sod' like a drunk or is there some other meaning?

Sexual intercourse,sexual intercourse,lady,sexual intercourse.

Not at all Linda. I'm sure that as a savy lyracist, Dylan was quite aware of the double entendre of the term. It adds zip to the tune... by the way, I wonder if Dylan wrote that one or if he recorded it?

alot of words have two meanings, like:
Ass = Donkey or Butt
Gay = Happy or Homo-sexual

Well, thanks for the hint, but it covers the part I already understand. The part I don't get is the 'sod' part. To me, 'sod' means those square pieces of grass, so I don't really get what is funny about a 'sod' farm or laying sod. The only thing I can think of is that it is funny because 'sod' can also mean a drunk, so if that is the case I'll just have to chalk it up as to not really being that funny to me.

Lets just say it has biblical roots into slang. Sodom was this old, very wicked city, you see... Genesis 19 vs. 1-11 Then there was this angry God fellow and a big getaway and "Lots of Salt" and... well. These vague and confusing verses seem to have given birth in all of the known christian world to the word "sodomy". <James Burke I'll never be > Hence the inherited slang "sod" as being one who.... oh, cripes! never mind. You are right. It wasn't that funny to start with and it's getting worse and worse... the work gang was not "laying sod". They were laying "the sod". 😞😕

lol, leave it to me to screw up a good joke. i have heard all about Sodom and I know the term sodomy, but I had never heard the slang 'sod' used in that context, hence my confusion.

only 2 meanings? I still have a headache from yesterday, when I tried to explain to a French speaker what the word "fit" meant. After realisin that you could fit in something or to be physically fit or to be fit for a position of responsability we looked in the dictionary and things got worse from there.

Believe me when I say that, from a foreign perspective, English can be a sod of a language to get to grips with.
