The SNL skit had peopple with southern accents talking about Colonel Angus..with the southern drawl, it sounded like they were saying cunnilingus, oral sex on a woman. This gave every thing they said a double meaning.
“Colonel Angus” was a comedy skit featured on the television show Saturday Night Live that gained notoriety due to its use of ribald word play. The skit, which aired live on February 22, 2003 in SNL’s 28th season, featured the show’s guest host Christopher Walken as the namesake Civil War hero Colonel Ennol Angus.
The skit takes place at a Southern plantation home, with the plantation owner’s wife Annabelle (played by Rachel Dratch) and her daughter Melinda (Amy Poehler) sitting on the porch waiting for the Colonel to return from the war. A large banner hanging over the porch reads “Welcome Home Colonel Angus.” The joke of the skit starts as Annabelle and Melinda discuss the impending arrival of the Colonel and make use of word play that stems from how “Colonel Angus,” when pronounced with a Southern accent, sounds very similar to “cunnilingus.” When the jokes about cunnilingus are exhausted, the skit then directs jokes at how the Colonel’s given name “Ennol Angus” sounds like “anilingus”. The skit also features Chris Parnell (as the plantation owner), Maya Rudolph (as Bedelia), and Jeff Richards (as the farm boy). Tina Fey wrote the script.
Excerpt:
Melinda: Daddy, they say all the women folk love Colonel Angus.
Father: Hmmmmm… I don’t know why all the people make such a big fuss over Colonel Angus.
Annabelle: I myself never much cared for Colonel Angus. He rubs me the wrong way. Not sure why. Can’t put my finger on it.
Father: Colonel Angus is an acquired taste.

Unfortunately, if someone has to explain it to you, it sort of loses its punch. For those of us who have heard and know the meaning of the word “cunnilingus”, this skit was a hoot!!! (Yeah, I’m from the south!)
