Addendum - a quick Gmail search turned up one use of "gang bang" which was quoted in response a few times; it was in the thread "[Pd] pd-competition?". I'm not exactly sure what it was referring to. I suspect it was a play on the word 'bang'.
Another quick Gmail search turned up one use of "wet dream", but now that I look that was actually in the Nosi-discussion list. It was, coincidentally, a comment made by a woman, one of the most active people in NOSI.
All I can guess is that this thread was started as a troll, or perhaps accidentally posted to the wrong list.

how does the fact that a group of people uses certain phrases prove that these phrases are not symptoms (or means) of oppression of this very group?
Wet dream can also relate to the dreams of water on Dune by Paul Atreides and gang bang can mean [t b b b b b b]
indeed this is possible. these phrases could also be not english at all and mean something like "bubo bubo" and "forgive".
