The 2001 movie "The Banger Sisters" regularly uses the verb "rattle"
= "have sexual intercourse with" (although not often does it use this
euphemism) and the corresponding noun "rattle".
Not in the OED, nor Wentworth & Flexner (1967) or Chapman (1995),
the only slang books on my shelf.
In Urbandictionary, with this meaning. HDAS?
Only mentioned because in my innocence I had not heard this before,
and the OED could not enlighten me. Not easy to find Googling.
