Sometimes, when I write, I can get into a funk. Hey, that’s a good one!
“Getting Into A Funk”
You may have noticed that I haven’t written anything for about three weeks…. I’ve tried, but my heart wasn’t in it. I kept on writing about stuff like Gun Violence, Why People Think We Need Hell, and Being Afraid to Let My Kids Go For A Walk–Things that were on my heart, but NONE of which I actually felt like writing…. probably because they were making me sad. So instead I thought I’d try some long neglected Bathroom Humor in an attempt to “cleanse my palate,” so to speak…. Which, coincidentally, brings me to another euphemism (they’re everywhere):
“Cleansing Your Palate”
Before I continue, it should be noted that by publishing this, I am going against my wife’s better judgment (another good one!) Her exact words were: “I am not okay with this. And I won’t be sharing it.” And my blogs don’t do near as well when she doesn’t share them. So that means if this makes you laugh or smile or cringe, you should do three things: First of all, don’t hold it against my wife (!), because she is a classy, classy lady. Anyone who says that she came up with a few of these herself is a dirty liar. Secondly, if you have another euphemism that you would like to share in the comments section, please do. I’d like for this post to become the internet’s preeminent site for sex and bathroom-related euphemisms. Third, share it. The number of people reading this one is going to be way down with her boycotting the blog. Let’s get started. In no particular order….
“Boycotting The Blog”
“Working Off Some Carbs”
“Seeing A Man About A Mule”
“Getting It Out Of Your System”
“Having A Movement”
“Dropping The Kids Off At The Babysitter’s”
“Laying Some Pipe”
“Having Some Alone Time”
“Letting Off Some Steam”
“Releasing The Hounds”
“Fooling Around”
“Watching An Episode of Happy Days”
“Taking A Steve Doocy”
“Appealing To Congress”
“Hitting A Home Run”
“Punching Seth Rogan In The Face”
“Testing The Suspension”
“Doing The Nasty”
“Code Brown”
“Sitting Down On The Job”
“Getting A Briefing At The Oval Office”
“Making A Buckeye”
“Flying Coach”
“Deleting Ann Coulter’s Tweets”
“Getting It On”
“Plowing The Fields”
“Making A Baby”
And there you have it. This list is by no means meant to be exhaustive, so if you like to add one to the comments section, feel free. Remember that euphemisms are supposed to be milder, indirect versions of stuff that is too harsh or embarrassing…. So let’s keep it PG-13. Sometimes I just need to do stuff like this to stay sane. Also, if you’re offended by any of these I’m sorry. Let this be a lesson to you…. It’s probably going to happen again. CHEERS!
Variations of number 6 – Dropping the kids off at the pool. Dropping the Browns off at the Swim Club.
First, the stop sign pic reminds me of the Bill Cosby routine about having clean underwear on if you are in an accident.
For the techies:
Data Purge
Stack Dump
Data Purge made me choke on my spit.
Also, “Choke On My Spit.”
Sex: taking out the trash (easily uttered in front of the kids)
Bathroom: visiting the library
Growing a tail. Chunk a deuce. Food baby. Paying the rent. Listen to Bruce Hornsby. Growing the beast with two backs.
Doing some paper work
Pinching a loaf.
Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl
My son’s father always says “Let’s hop on the good foot and do the bad thing.”
So far, no one I’ve met has ever heard anyone else say it.
Strain the gut
Stretch the cheeks
Sort of the opposite when you have to wait to “go”: “pinch them cheeks!”
