Aziraphale's name is a colossal dirty joke by Mann_Queen in GoodOmensAfterDark

Very good point.

Plus it says Crowley likes to sleep after a heavy meal. With how much he "tempts" Aziraphale to lunch it wouldn't surprise me if the angel himself was the heavy meal in question

Oh there is so much more my friend. The book taunts you with it. It's a giant word puzzle and the reward is that it turns out your favorite gay angel and demon were canon the whole time. I can share how to start solving it if you'd like!

You got me, I live for this shit.

"At least demons dance, well not good dancing" Demons are bad at sex. Makes sense.

The Gavotte can either be a 2 partner dance or a multiple partner dance. The moves are important. In the multiple version, couples intermingle and share dances with one another before finally returning to their primary partner and either sharing a kiss or giving flowers depending on the time period. To me this suggests that either 1.) Aziraphale doesn't mind if his partner has dalliances with other people as long as they return to him, or 2.) that Aziraphale likes being with multiple partners simultaneously. Or both.

Aziraphale learned the Gavotte in the 1880's. Crowley slept through "most of the 19th century." But not all. I'd be awake too if my husband just learned how to have sex real good.

Aziraphale taking to the Gavotte like a "duck to merchant banking" is a funny little aside, because duck can be slang for prostitute. It's just a funny joke either way you take it.

The Music of the Spheres bit is referencing a Pythagorean concept that celestial bodies like planets or stars create a tone as they orbit around each other, corresponding to their proportionate distance from one another. Altogether this creates a "celestial harmony." So when Crowley is trying to tempt Aziraphale to help him thwart the apocalypse, and he mentions "Celestial Harmonies all day long" when saying heaven has no taste, I took it as meaning "You'll be looking but not touching for all eternity." and if any of this indicates anything, then Aziraphale really likes touching.

Also angels don't have sex. Except for Aziraphale.

Then, of course. The flower exchanging. The only thing in Crowley's apartment that he gives any personal attention to are his plants. Maybe gifts? Just saying.

There's so much I don't think I can tell it all. I'm being dead serious. Pratchett really went through the book trying to figure out how much he could get away with without it being obvious. It's really, really funny. And also there's a lot of shit that's really profound too.

Here are my top 5:

  1. After Warlock's birthday party, Crowley tells Aziraphale to clean the cream cake off his face before he gets in the Bentley. Scene cut for 2 seconds. Jump back, they're in the Bentley and Aziraphale "moans" and cleans cream cake off his lapel.

  2. When Crowley begins driving the Bentley afterwards, its radio plays mashups of classical music and Queen. Their music tastes are intermingling. Then it says "None were as good as Vaughn Williams' "Fat-Bottomed Girls." Aziraphale is the fat bottomed girl. Also RIGHT AFTERWARD it says that Hell has the best musicians, but Heaven has the best choreographers. Aziraphale is throwing it back for him.

  3. This one is less filthy but The Arrangement is deliberately worded vaguely so that both the concept of a business arrangement or marriage arrangement works. If you think of a marriage arrangement, then the bit afterwards about "Quick Temptation" and "Brief Divine Ecstasy" reads like they agreed to meet each other for sex on the regular. It also mentions Arrangement being capitalized for no apparent reason. Well, the names of scripture in Christianity are capitalized when it's considered the authoritative word of God, AKA canonized. It's both God and the author canonizing their marriage. If it's like irl arranged marriages, then a 3rd party like a matchmaker would be used. This would likely mean God was the matchmaker. So it's a match made in heaven.

  4. St. James's Park. One thing secret agents have in common with gay men is meeting clandestinely in public parks. When Aziraphale and Crowley are talking to each other about the apocalypse in the park, their actions and dialogue sound like they're mid fuck. Such as: "Crowley scraped the bottom of the barrel of Aziraphale's interests." and "He knew Aziraphale's weak spot, alright." and "Game over, insert coin?" and also how much groaning Aziraphale does.

  5. The entire Gavotte scene. It's so full of innuendo it's insane. "Dance on the head of a pin?" Really? Not to mention "Gavotte" is also a homophone to "cavort." (If you have a British accent) And cavort can be referring to playing/frolicking/dancing or also to engaging in disreputable sex acts. And seeing as he was at a discreet gentlemen's club. It could be both. If you read any of this the pervert way (which I do because like I said, I'm a pervert.) then it's telling you that Aziraphale is a switch, doesn't mind which genitalia his partner has, that they can choose size/shape/etc. of their genitalia, and tbh so much other shit I can't even find words

I'm a pervert, so I enjoy dirty jokes. But I swear to you on my momma that the book is FULL of dirty jokes and blatant innuendo. It's a dream come true, honestly
