    OnlyFans star Annie Knight is sharing an update amid her recent hospitalization after sleeping with 583 men in six hours.

    It’s bizarre that US uses “sleeping with” to mean “had sex with”. Readers clearly understand, she uses the word “sex” in her quotes, but the magazine/site insists on using that bizarre euphemism.

      You mean to tell me that when someone says that they’re taking a shit, it shouldn’t mean literally turd burgaling?

      One fewer word/syllable.

      I think they should pare it down further though, and just say ‘fucking’

      Jfc it’s just as bizarre as every other fucking cultures language on earth but I get it, it’s popular to shit on America while it’s fighting a civil war that was never declared. Easier than realizing this shit show is coming for you next.

        I’m not talking about the US, I’m talking about US Magazine. I’ve seen other US publications use “sex” to refer to sex.
