I think this is fairly self explanatory.

Mine: Bombing the harbor.

Since that other thread has me thinking of George Carlin jokes lately.

"(Annoying mom voice) He's a picky eater. You know what a picky eater is? Picky eater is a euphemism for BIG PAIN IN THE ASS."

 

[novelist_wannabe]

OOP, I almost put that on the thread starter. Gives me grins every time.

 

[The Big Ragu]

"Finished on her grill" and "I'd hit it" are two that come to mind.

 

[Ace]

Loading the dishwasher.

 

[alleyallen]

Killing kittens.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

I'm afraid I'm going to need some explanation there, Ace

I'm sorry. My mistake. I was looking at the "honey do" list instead of the euphemism list.

 

[Songbird]

Burning puppies.

 

[Sxysprtswrtr]

Entering the dermal begonias

 

[Songbird]

Chopping meat.

Me too...especially since I am what George would call a BIG PAIN IN THE ASS

****ing.


I'm not very good at this euphemism thing.

Hell, I thought it was brilliant. Think about it for a few seconds and you'll get it. Even if Ace didn't mean for it to work, it does.

Y'know, IJAG, that's actually a word I like to use in virtually every sense except the original one to which it was intended. Never understood why.

Euphemisms can be hard if you're used to being a straightforward-talking person.

IJAG doesn't beat around the bush.

As far as I know.

Well done.

Oh, great, let's just keep a secret from the simpleton who started the thread. I see how you're gonna be ...

Hell, I don't know what bombing the harbor is supposed to mean.
