lets start a thread of euphemisms  :D

euphemism - The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive   ::)

they are commonly used today to be "politically correct"

you mean like "Who cut the cheese?" instead of "Who farted?"

Or "Oh, he passed away...." instead of "HE'S DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD! AND I KILLED HIM!"?

Maybe we can try to build on the last one without actually mentioning the euphemized word. For example:

 I heard a rumor that (name omitted) once cut the cheese so badly that everyone in the room felt sick and went to worship at the altar of St. John


and we'll see how big this thread can be before someone says something that gets it deleted

Would "drop the twins off at the pool" count as a euphemism?

Sounds about right to me...

Oh you know the new couple that just moved in upstairs? Well they have a son and he's well...um,special.

That one kinda bugs me.

One of my family's euphemisms:

"Spilled some paint"

"Spending A Penny" - One of my work colleagues used it the other day. Thankfully, the customers didn't catch on!!!

BTW Does anyone have a clue what "Spilled some paint" means?

it may sound dumb but it means "to throw up".

Usually my mum says "Spilled the yellow paint", or my bro says "Spilled some porridge", but I say "Spilled paint".

Woofed his cookies! :)

I don't even waste time on euphemisms most of the time... but I like "If you know what I mean..." at the end of something. Like some people would say this:

"Sounds like you got lucky last night... if you know what I mean." then they make this face.  ;)


Here's what I say:

"Well well, what you've said gives the indication you had sexual intercourse last night... if you know what I mean."


Works for me.  ;D

my mom always says (when she sees something gross)....and I quote..."that's enough to gag a maggot"


hahhahaaa...I always thought that was kinda funnY!


Erin :)

When it's really cold outside my mom says, It's as cold as charity... that has to be a British saying, I've never heard it anyplace else

When you're fixing your car and can't get a screw to go into a hole, your buddy always says, let's put some hair around that hole   ;D

nope...guess again.

look above at what "spilled some paint" means.

I've heard "who let the cat out of the bag" used quite a few times.

Oh,did,'t look at the other posts.But I'd much more likely be using red paint than---barf yellow??

Holy crud instead of "Holy s**t."  I prefer the first one a little better even though sometimes I get a little mad and the number 2 will come out, too.  But this hasn't happened in recent memory.

Another one is "Oh my Gosh" instead of "Oh My God!"

One of my brothers always says "drop one in the hopper."  ;D

hands = titty grabbers  ;D

"Talking to Ralph on the big white phone" (vomiting).

Also, and I have no idea where or when I got this one, when extremely or suddenly frustrated beyond endurance, I yell "Good Night NURSE!!!  I've even got my five-year-old saying it now.
