And the correct answer is gagging for.The leader of Britain's Conservative Party and, possibly, the next UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, raised lots of eyebrows when he used this expression in a recent interview. Why? Well, it is quite vulgar, and it is usually used to describe a situation in which a person is desperate for sex. Then, they are said to be "gagging for" it.

The word "gagging" sounds very like another vulgar English word, "shagging". Neither, however, is related to "fagging", a tradition in British elite schools, whereby younger students were forced to act as personal servants to the most senior boys and were often subjected to severe discipline and physical punishment.

Cameron

When he was seven, David Cameron attended Heatherdown Preparatory School in Berkshire, the alma mater of Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. He then went to Eton College, often referred to as "the chief nurse of England's statesmen". After Eton, he went to Oxford University and did a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. While at Oxford, David Cameron was a member of the Bullingdon Club, a student society with a reputation for heavy drinking and boisterous behaviour.
