A semi is not slang but rather a shortened form of saying 'semi-erect penis'

I guess I'm out of date - it means a tractor trailer to me.
The OED does not recognize it so I'd say it was slang...

It's just common parlance Monty, no need to stress the grey cells.

Oh, for sure it is in internet dictionaries - I'm just not up on modern terminology - the question was whether it is slang or not. The actual condition, of course, is not something you and I need worry about. Much

Well, does the OED contain abbreviations? And if not, does that make them slang?

OED has it as a prefix and includes under that semi-final (the sense I used). It doesn't have semi-erection but who cares? The word is understood by almost everyone. The OED does include slang terms and notes them as such - just didn't have this one.

Pretty good for tennis perverts I guess - both pretty attractive ladies.

Just because Nadal's record is 63-1 in the French Open doesn't mean .... Oh never mind.

No. Not a chance in hell. And Murray himself knows it.

He has done exceptionally well to make the semi-final though on clay given he's still feeling his way back from injury.

Regardless of Nadal's 64 games to 1 record at Roland Garros, that's Murray through. :mrgreen:

Bodes well for Wimbledon, a couple of great workouts. Followed by a shorter one I suspect!

It was what you call a total dicking....

Worryingly although he'd undoubtedly fair better on grass I don't reckon Murray could beat Nadal over 5 sets on that surface either as it stands....
