Euphemisms you don't use and wouldn't be caught dead using

[BurtWorm]

Me:

Bodily functions: teetee, make water, make
Body parts: yaya, hoo-hoo (except in an emergency)
Death: pass
Sex: bump uglies

Remember, euphemisms aren't slang. They're meant to disguise the unpleasantness or impoliteness of the subject.

1. 'Suck a golfball through a garden hose'

Or, 'suck the chrome off a trailer hitch' I never use those.

[AngryAmish]

2. I won't complain that a person is niggardly

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Why not? It's a good word.

[no name no slogan]

3. 'differently abled', 'mentally ill'

'Crippled' and 'batshit crazy' work just as well.

[fizzgig]

8. *snerk*

batshit crazy works for me

[DS1]

4. Wow. Just wow.

and "going to hell in a handbasket" <<<< what a dumb fucking comment that is

[astral]

26. Oh but I love that comment

I really do.

[Shell Beau]

31. I would think that would be a lovely way to go to hell!

It could be worse.

I never understood "a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of". Who throws piss out of a window? :shrug:

[Inchworm]

32. I know I shouldnt answer

but.. but.. butt..

20-30 years ago in my area "chambers" (pisspot) were fairly common in peoples homes. It was much easier to pee in the pot for teh ladies than to bundle up and dig through the snow to get to the outhouse ;)

I'm sure most men just pee'd off the porch :rofl:

I'm guessing the window to throw it out was pure laziness, hehe

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

33. Now see? I have learned something new!!!

:7

[Inchworm]

34. Only time I ever saw one used on TV...

was on Deadwood. :rofl:

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

35. Awww! Deadwood!

x( One of my husband's favorite shows.

But now we have True Blood!! :bounce:

[Inchworm]

36. I'm still boycotting satellite and cable

:rofl:

Nothing but soaps and judge shows all day. :thumbsdown:

Oh.. and DU

:woohoo:

5. "Would you like to douche?"

These were my future mother-in-law's first words to me after CMW brought me, after a very long train trip, to meet his family for the first time. I immediately wondered what she thought we'd done on the train, but later learned that "douche" is a common Swiss-German term for "shower." :rofl:

[Nickster]

7. LMAO!

[latebloomer]

12. GOOD one!!!

[trof]

29. I was asked the same question.

Visiting some Dutch friends in Deldin, about a 2 hour train ride from Amsterdam.
As soon as I arrived Sitska offered me a Scotch (thank you very much), then asked if I'd like to douche after my trip.
Her English was very good and she immediately caught herself and started to laugh.
"Oh no, that's not the right word. SHOWER!, Would you like a shower? Ha ha, douche means something entirely different in English."
I laughed too.

9. on the rag

i really, really hate that one

[Heidi]

16. Female pejorative

that has led to other female pejoratives, ie: "raggin' on him," "must be that time of the month," etc.

:puke:

[PassingFair]

10. "for shits & giggles"

I HATE that saying, euphemism or not.

[TZ]

11. Shtup/ shtupping

for sex..(and I know there is someone around here that uses this euphemism too...:hide:)

[BurtWorm]

17. In Yiddish, you just talked dirty.

:blush:

[TZ]

24. Well my Great Grandma Rosie will be rolling over in her grave then...

:P

[latebloomer]

13. "the little girls' room"

"powder my nose"

"perspire" instead of "sweat"

"intimacy"- when you really mean SEX!

[Dr. Strange]

18. The proper term for sex is...

"doing the yummy."

[Jamastiene]

14. Well, you have offended my hoo-hoo.

:P

(j/k)

[astral]

27. It's a hooh-haah, not a hoo-hoo.

[Heidi]

15. "Pardon me. I need to go tinkle."

:puke:

[jobycom]

19. What exactly does "Wouldn't be caught dead using" mean?

No one will catch you doing much of anything dead, except lying there. It was originally a comment about fashion ("wouldn't be caught dead wearing that" makes sense), but it has somehow migrated beyond making any sense at all.

If you mean something more like "Euphamisms you wouldn't use to save your life," then that would grammatically and logically make sense, but there ain't no such ephamisms for me. My passed dead uncle will bump uglies with his yaya all day long if it will save my worthless hoo-hoo, I garohntee.

[BurtWorm]

20. Oh foist it up your hoo-hoo!

:o

[jobycom]

21. Which one is my hoo-hoo? Is that my wazoo, or that place where the sun doesn't shine?

[BurtWorm]

22. That's the beauty of hoo-hoo, I suppose.

You can decide what the wazoo I'm talking about.

[jobycom]

23. Whatever it is...

Do not tutch it!

[davsand]

25. "Ladylike."

I caught my mom telling my 11 year old daughter it was not "ladylike" to say "kick ass."

"Kick ass" maybe is not considered polite by certain people, but "ladylike" is a stupid f***ing phrase that does absolutely NOTHING to explain what the issue actually IS with using "kick ass" in polite society.

:puke:

Say what you mean and spare me the rest.

28. "Wizard's Sleeve"

Don't ask why, but I find that one to be a bit tasteless.

[Orsino]

30. If you mean "substitution of mild, indirect or vague expressions," say so.

God damn it. I hate that.
