Euphemistically Yours

[MrEd63]

We all have different ways of communicating thoughts and actions by using different words or pet phrases . A famous example being " Tired and emotional " which really meant being a drunken pain in the arse .
So let's have your pet names, coded phrases and silly sayings that you use in everyday life
I'll start with my dear friend, who if he and his wife were late meeting us would claim that he had been " washing his face " . We were convinced they'd just had a quickie and that had held them up .

At home, if I refer to a movie as "13" it means it was much more than "intense"
(get it, in 10s?)

Let's see.. how about "Homework" as a reference to, well, me doing everything possible to distract him from his homework.

My friend kept telling me he was dropping the kids off at the pool. When I replied I didn't know he had kids, he informed me it meant he was going for a poo.

That was years ago by the way.....

I believe that one is pretty universal. Taking the browns to the super bowl. The more racist, dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool, etc.

A man that I love dearly was addicted to a certain soap opera. He didn't want his friends to know he watched it. He'd say things like...

Gotto go, "Who Shot John" is on, and I try to catch it when I can.

"Crop Dusting" this is when your in a grocery store and accidently break wind (fart) and you quickly decide you no longer need anything from that isle and rush of buggy squealing!!

A euphemisn for a euphemism. Or a double euphemism. Or something like that.

Time to "Get Set" Pretty means time to get drunk.

Great to see this thread back up there.
One of my favourites is describing a beer belly as " The balcony over the toy-shop "

I hope it is "long division".

 

[MrEd63]

I hope it is "long division".

Just be careful of multiplication

 

[Tawny_Temptress]

Just be careful of multiplication

Well, there could be subtraction.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with multiples.

My girlfriends and I say we're "raising the flag" or "the flag is raised" as code for that time of the month. It was coined after the Japanese flag, which is white with a red circle in the middle.
