S-something beautiful
19 June 2006 by danielbowenI work at a golf course in the States as a Beer Girl and some Australian guy called me some name beginning with ‘S’, and what I asked him what it meant he said it’s when a girl is so beautiful, it makes a guys nuts shake. I thought it was hysterical and I’m dying to know what the ‘S’ word is, I can’t remember, please help me! — Leigh, USA
Hmmm. Well it’s probably not slut, slapper, scab, sook or sand-groper, none of which are particularly complimentary. Seppo would be possible, but that refers to you being an American.
No, my money’s on spunk, which Macquarie Dictionary describes as: a good-looking person, male or female, or possibly a variation such as spunk-rat, spunkalicious, or a spunkette.
I’m not sure if these normally prompt nut-shaking, but if he reckons it did, then fair enough.

I’m thinking ’spanner’, which doesn’t make them shake, but sure makes them tighten!

S = Sheila?

To me, Sheila doesn’t quite convey the meaning described.

Yes, the name is Sheila. (No, it’s not nice!)
Yes, the girl was lied to!
How do I know? I live in a Naval community on the west coast of Canada. (And Been there, done that, not saying anything more!
It was even MORE fun when my sister, Sheila, was with us!!!!
Girls - don’t believe everything you hear, especially from a guy from another country, ESPECIALLY when the guy has been drinking!!!!
I found the Australian sailors more crude and rude. The Kiwi’s (New Zeelanders) were nicer (in general - mind you they were BOTH in port at the same time. [lots of fights!] It just might have been that they were competing for the girls??!?!?!?!). They were ALL lots of fun!!!
One thing we thought was hilarious was the nickname “Blue”! (A Redhead)

Yes is most likely was Shelia. And no its not a derogatory term. It’s just another name for the fairer female. There are many slang variations for a ugly female. But i wont got into it.
How do I know? I live in the Great South Land itself.
