Otherwise  well-meaning Sri Lankan male would  resort to sexual slang when  describing a situation of sexual nature to  his peers, and that does not  necessarily indicate that the he is  sexist. Sexual slang documented  below ranges from 'mild' to 'severe'  and sometimes borders the 'extreme  taboo' slang documented in a  different section. It is advisable to avoid  slang of this nature in  decent company.</blockquote>
