And the Hell- Fire Club, aka the Mad Monks of Medmenham Abbey (founded c

1755), a group of profligates which included Francis Dashwood, The Earl of

Sandwich and John Wilkes. Their summer revels included orgies and obscene

parodies of Catholic ritual.

I think that "hell fire" is self explanitory. It's just an expression

that describes just how bad something is. How better to do this then to

compare it to Hell's fire? I've heard this for years. My grandparents

said this constantly.



Are you all familiar with the infamous Hell Fire club in the Meat Market of

NYC? Truly "out there" sexual exploration....
