Steamport Southport Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 She was hoeing in the garden earlier.... I think that "flange" originally comes from Ramblin' Syd Rumpo (aka Kenneth Williams). He used to put words in songs that sounded rude that weren't. A lot of them ended up in common usage. If you think this song is rude it's your dirty mind as there is nothing remotely risqué in it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
