ANTHROPONYMS IN PHRASEOLOGICAL COMBINATIONS ON SEXUAL THEMES

Abstract

The article deals with English slang and colloquial phraseological units containing anthroponyms and naming intimate parts of the body and sexual relations. As the intimate parts of a persons body belong to a living being, it is common for us to animate them and treat them as animated entities in the way we treat a close friend or a pet we care for. The article also contains phraseological units with anthroponyms in their composition, represented in many cases by the precedent names of characters from detective serials, soap operas and sagas, and celebrities from show biz and the sporting world, which have not yet been the subject of special study.
