I learned a new expression today. "Busy as a blue arse fly". I was curious where it originated and in my travels found this. Don't ask. :-)

Sheep Shaggers
Literally men who have carnal knowledge of sheep. Figuratively used of rural people in bleak windswept areas especially the Welsh and Falkland Islanders.

How can someone pinpoint something like that? I remember a number of years ago there was a guy in southwestern Ontario charged with sheep shagging.
Can happen anywhere but what's with the bleak windswept areas?
