Its when the ball hits you in the nuts and your not wearing a cup

A cup?!? What the .... Is that?  Everyone knows that cricketers wear a box!  Cup, what is the world coming to?  Has someone let a colonial into the forum? I think we should be told.

After several pints I always thought Pot Noodles were quite good :)

That is a common effect of several pints on many things!

Since this thread now has elements of a cultural exchange - a box over here in the colonies may refer to the same anatomical area that we have been discussing - but in the opposite gender. In fact when we came to understand that you have a Boxing Day - we were like - good on you!!

I certainly will now have complex thoughts when I next see a football helmet  :o

The term certainly carried that sense in South Africa too. Probably still does.

Of course.

Wasn't thinking anything naughty.

Nothing at all.
