Bunga bunga

In 1910 Horace de Vere Cole, Virginia Woolf, her brother Adrian Stephen and a small group of friends pretended to be the Prince of Abyssinia and his entourage.

I think it was supposed to be with one of the assistants at Clarksons, who professed to know a great deal more than he did, and in particular stated that we used the expression "Bunga-Bunga".

Apparently the Admiral was unable to go ashore without having them shouted after him in the streets, and I suppose the other officers were treated in the same way.

[9] This expression was then frequently quoted by the Italian and international press in the run-up to the 2011 investigation surrounding Silvio Berlusconi's child exploitation, where it acquired a quite different meaning as "an orgy involving prostitutes and a powerful leader".

It was said to be "a sort of underwater orgy where nude young women allegedly encircled the nude host and/or his friends in his swimming pool",[12] "an African-style ritual" performed for male spectators by "20 naked young women",[13] or the erotic entertainment of a rich host involving pole dancing and competitive striptease by skimpily clad "women in nurses' outfits and police uniforms",[14] the prize being prostitution for the host.

The term "Bunga Bunga" has been closely associated with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in recent history.
