Cyclists less likely to put out on the first date

I am also sure it is not a new term. It has been used in America for decades.

In that case it is unlikely to make the OED

????? The OED is full of Americanisms.

The point being made is that as "put out" has been around for a long time it is unlikely to make it into the OED.

Thanks, AFS. I must try to remember that on internet forums I'm not having a discussion with just one person at a time!!

Yebbut do you know how long it takes to get a new entry in the OED. I sent them "filtering" as in the moving through traffic on a bike. Its now sat in the long long list of words and phrases to get round to. If I see it make it in my lifetime it'll be a miracle.

I wonder how many people send in the same word?
