No, it's not a euphemism, although you do have to get pretty friendly with your fellow competitor 
I've just been watching this on the Winter Olympics - the men's double luge. Two men, lying one on top of the other on their backs, on a glorified tea tray type sledge, whizzing down a steep, curved ice track.
My question is, who the heck invented luge and why, and who the heck thought "let's all pile on and make it a team activity?" 
What sports/activities do you look at and wonder who and how the heck they came into existence? |

I’ll bet that the Luge came about when a few hundred years back, Dave (who was likely inebriated) was struggling to push his sledge so enlisted the aid of his similarly pissed as a fart mates, Fred and Bert. Unfortunately, after an almighty combined push, they all fell on the sledge and….Whoosh!!! The rest is history  |

The luge came about centuries ago before they put runners on it and called it a sledge.
It’s no different than as a kid jumping on your tray, holding on for dear life and pelting down the hill.
Love the luge |

"Test cricket, I'm surprised this isn't available on prescription for insomnia."
I can see how cricket might have evolved (hit ball with flat bit of wood) but playing a match that lasts a week or whatever?! Yeah, any sport that includes scones and tea partway through is crazy to me too |
