Shag
-
can mean rough tobacco, or else amateur beach-style dancing in the US. But in the main UK sense, as noun or verb, is an alternative to fuck ... but with a slight, important difference of effect. To some ears, fuck (like bang) can sound like an aggressive act, and/or violent conquest, whereas shag (a softer sound) sounds more like an enjoyable fun activity. Shag is still often the preferred term among women who are very keen on shagging, very much enjoy shagging men (and/or women) and getting shagged themselves. But dont so much want to get fucked (though if talking about another woman, especially a rival, it may well be a different story!). (Note also: fucking can also suggest meddling or cheating, fucked is also associated with broken or finished, had it - shagged is used simply to mean very tired .... one more reason for the preference by some people for shag over fuck!)
