Ah, those halcyon days, when asking a lass if she 'fancied a pull on your woody' didn't result in a slap and a visit to the magistrate's court.

 

Only lasses had filters. "Like smokin' a soddin' tampon!!"

In the past I've heard them referred to as 'cancer sticks' now that would be enough to put anyone off, you'd think:gag:

My old uncle was a deputy down Kiveton Pit. He used to chew tobacco when he was underground and rub it into flakes for his pipe when he was on top.

He called it "shag". I remember him asking for it the shop. "An ounce of shag please luv".

 

The smell was absolutely vile.

i remember fetching this "shag" for an old neighbour.one day a kid called barry caldwell came with me to the shops,as we walked in,barry saw it wasn,t mrs benton,but her teenage daughter,susan,who was serving...."watch this" he said......"can i have a shag?" susan went white and started shouting for her mother,barry ran off leaving me to explain to an irate mrs benton. old frank laughed his head off when i told him,and said ask for a plug of shag in future,which i made sure i did.

I just remembered that there was another chewing baccy he used called "Twist". It's a funny coincidence that "Shag" and "Twist" are both dances in the US.
