What is the British meaning of the word crumpet?

The word crumpet is used in British English to mean women who are objects of sexual desire.

A woman regarded as an object of sexual desire is referred to as a sexual act.

The earliest instance of crumpet being used in a sexual sense was found in The Gilt Kid by the British author James Curtis.The Gilt Kid has just seen the woman he loves, Maisie, in the company of her sugar daddy.

There was a coffee-stall in front of him.It was a good idea.He rested his left foot on the wheel-spokes of the bar counter as if they were brass foot-rails.The man was behind the counter.He was glad to have a customer.Ginger asked, "What d'you want?" and "Cup o' tea, sav and a slice."Ginger took the sixpence and said that he looked miserable.What is a matter?The monosyllable was curt.He had not had a crumpet.Ginger's back was turned.The man was at the cash register.If you stay up as late as this, you won't have a crumpet.Mister, you must be a bit slow.A man came up to the stall.He said a cup of tea and hot pie.The Gilt Kid said he didn't get no crumpet.The Gilt Kid was not paying attention.Ginger was correct.He didn't have a crumpet.He removed his hat.There were many cows around Victoria Station.He said no to Ginger.You are right, mate.I did not have a crumpet.He went back to Victoria.The other customer looked at his back.What is the matter with that man?He didn't get no crumpet because he had the bedbugs.Enough to make a man miserable staying up all the time and not getting anything.

The word lumber is mentioned in the review of Look Long Upon a Monkey by Elizabeth Harvey in The Birmingham Post.

Quicks wits and a benevolent frame of mind are needed for full enjoyment of the tense drama unfolded in Look Long Upon a Monkey, the benevolence for overlooking the impossible brassy, primitive and even fictionally obsolete women characters, and the wits for learning the unfamiliar language.Theories which the trio had aired before on the problem of criminals can now be put into practice.

Borstal Boy is an autobiographical novel set in a borstal by the Irish poet, short story writer, novelist and playwright Brendan Behan.

If you have the money to buy a snout, you can smoke your head off here.You can buy food and drink.You can talk in Borstal, I suppose.He said to be quiet when you had to sit in the dining hall and read a book or write a letter.Littlewood said that you could shove your head in your hands and think about the last piece of crumpet you had outside.He doubted if any of us had ever had a bit.Joe asked about your old man and woman.I think they are over forty, my mother is thirty-seven and my old man is a year or two older.His lips set stern, and his fists clenched, as he said, "You shut your bloody mouth."

The bit of crumpet refers to a woman regarded as an object of sexual desire in the dialogue from A Taste of Honey.

The title of a 1963 motion picture was 812 and it was associated with a British sitcom called Steptoe and Son.

The phone bells rang in protest after an old Army phrase in last night's "Steptoe and Son" TV programme.Harold objected to Steptoe senior seeing "Nudes of 1964."Harold asked his father if he had taken his glasses, as they were leaving home.Steptoe senior said he didn't want his glasses.Angry viewers started ringing after I said I was not going to see any crumpets.The official said that there had been some viewer reaction.

It is not possible to please all the people at the same time.The Daily Mirror was the first to learn.They can't go into detail about the programme this week, but they have had some viewer reaction.It's possible that Steptoe Senior referred to the ladies as "popsies" when he said something to his son about "crumpet".Who wouldn't want to be called "crumpet" instead of "strumpet"?It is a matter of taste.

The word crumpet was used by a priest in the Church of England.The Evening Express (Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland) published the following on May 14, 1964.

An appeal to church people not to be shocked by modern trends in sex life, particularly among the young, is contained in a pamphlet.The author calls for understanding of modern attitudes towards sex.He says that it is not within the competence of the Church to stop pagan teenagers having sex together.They will conclude that virginity is superior to the process of losing it if they think we are saying that sleeping alone is preferable to a piece of crumpet...

The Daily Mirror published a story about the use of the word again two years later.

Hundreds of TV viewers were shocked by a phrase used by the canon of a Royal Chapel when he was discussing a controversial Church report on sex.The British Council of Churches commissioned a report that does not condemn sex outside of marriage.A man may be in the habit of having a nice bit of crumpet on Saturday night.The canon said that if he wanted to join the Church as a Christian, he would have to give up.I used it because of that.I try to communicate with the people.

This led Iain Hamilton to associate crumpet in the sense of sexual intercourse to "trendy Anglicanism".

Success was not a good word to those who could see the skull behind the grin and the feet of clay.In the days when lip-service was paid to values, it was possible to enjoy power, wealth, and unlimited crumpet.
