You know what they say : "Cool water, fish live. Hot water, fish escape."

Please try to contact me on BBO to clarify how fun and innocent "boom boom" is misinterpreted "is not a good name especially in Asia". It might be something that you do not find suitable to post on forums. Good, it's politeness.

Thanks :)

There are many words that have different meanings in different places and contexts. John Lee Hooker made some fantastic music in my opinion.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I never claimed I was sheltered but I do seem to have a lower tolerance for public use than everyone else. ;)

No "boom boom" means to f**k
You don't use this in polite company anywhere in Asia. boom boom boom means to have a double, or a sandwich if you like. (Sex with 2 ladies).
Btw my original comment was meant as tongue in cheek, but I suspect that due to a language problem it was taken literally.

I thought boom boom was an expression meaning "I have just told a joke and you are now supposed to laugh".
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.
