Question about the words pulling and scoring

    Does "pulling" mean actually having sex, or can it mean anything from getting someone's phone number up to and including sex?

    What about "scoring?"

    Depends on the speakers age/geographical region/circles moved in I would imagine ?

    I would generally take scoring to mean kissing, and pulling to mean sex. You're correct that there's leeway involved in people's usage of both though.

    Pulling is playing with your penis furiously.

    Scoring is buying your choice of drugs.

    Pull -

    When I say scoring i mean kissing.

    To me pulling means sex but id really use that word normally just ask "Did ya get the ride?".. I really should start hanging out with girls more often

    i used to always say going on the pull(no ing).....basically just showing my face at an event and watching the girls come running to chat me up

    and pulling/scoring as in going home with them


    they are both sexual anyway...like most word in ireland....
    did ya ride her
    did ya shift her
    etc... etc....
    did ya get stuck in there did ya
    did ya give 'er a lash

    i'd consider shiftin a girl as pulling
    and scoring as doing the no pants dance:D

    Scoring is all about getting the ball into the back of the net, not just around the frame ;)
