Euphemisms

[LukkyKnight]

They can be so colorful, and subtle. Sometimes they leave me with tears rolling down my cheeks. It's mostly about the delivery and context, of course, but I just have to start laughing when I overhear somebody say something such as, "Helping out the frog."

Some of my favorites....

She is dumb....

Not the brightest crayon in the box

Not the brightest bulb in the marquee

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

Light is on but nobody is home

Bats in the bellfree

Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top

A few french fries short of a happy meal.

Romance authors have the funniest euphemisms of all. The one that will stick in my head for eternity is "her swirling vortex of passion..." *snickers*

 

[Saint Peter]

Could not pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel.
