What's so special about the Urn in which the ashes are held, is that all English and Austalian captains since that fateful game, have taken it upon themselves to follow the tradition of "fucking the ashes". This is where we get the popular terms, "ash fucker" and "ash fucking". "Ash fucker" is (contextually) a complement to cricketers, yet in recent years it has become more of an insult, thus, "ash fucking" is now frowned upon.
