New euphemism

[PennLady]

Okay, I so I was reading Jeff Wells' reaction to The Dark Knight Rises and this comment cracked me up.

From a user going by "Thom Phoolery:"

William Devane, Matthew Modine AND Tom Conti are all in this thing? Think I just blew a load of population pudding in my pants.

I'd never seen "population pudding" before and ... I love it.

Hmmm, well see I've been "fixed" so what's that leave for me? Zombie's?

I suppose it's still population pudding, but your population is stopped at the gates. Or you're just a proponent of ZPG.

It's a population doomed to extinction I suppose.

potential population pudding postponed prematurely by a prophylactic pull?

Perhaps.

And now Bill Cosby is in my head saying "population pudding pops" with super-exaggerated enunciation.

While I admire Mr. Phoolery's enthusiasm and linguistic panache, I pity him for his explosive lack of self-control. I hope he tucks the bottoms of his trouser legs into his socks before he goes to see the movie. It would be just awful if anyone were to hurt themself slipping on an outpouring of his enthusiasm.

Heh! 'Population pudding', That's a good'un.

It reminds me of the t-shirt slogan: '10,000 of my children died on your daughter's face last night'.

Ah, but perhaps if he gets it out of the way beforehand, he can see the movie without having to explode again. Or at least wait until he can get to the restroom afterwards.

I wonder if we might take the euphemism a little further please. Having dealings with the male attributes, there now seems to be a row about the female end of the equation:

If we can’t say vagina on TV, what are we supposed to call it?
If we ban the v-word can we all agree on a new term ?.

See this article.

"An advert for a brand of panty liners has sparked a fierce debate in New Zealand after using the word ‘vagina’. Shortly after its first showing the ad for Carefree pads attracted nine complaints for using the v-word.

This isn’t a feminist issue, more of a confusing one – if we can’t call it a vagina what are we meant to call it? The word was appropriate for the tone of the advert. I can’t see any right-minded woman purchasing the wares of a company that calls it a foof, mimsie or la-la.

50% of the population have one, and a large portion of the other 50% are quite keen on them too."

Population pudding padding.
