The Power Of Euphemisms
It's funny how things take on different meanings as they become an accepted part of the public lexicon... Things like "Kicking the Bucket" or "Pushing up Daisies" for dying. And, of course, where would we be with our bathroom euphemisms, such as, Taking a crap (why anyone would want to take one???) Colon Bowlin, the Aztec Two-step, or my favorite, Giving Birth to a Politician (I'd love to know when someone came up with that one). What got me thinking about this dirty subject was this cartoon that popped up on my Pinterest feed, by Bill Whitehead... This one really showcases the impact that a euphemism can have...

Is there a euphemism for when a trusted friend sticks up for you and you don't realise at the time? <3
"I've got your back." Lol there are so many interesting things we say daily and we just decode the randomness 😂 I love this cartoon also 😏
Like :)
I'm sure there is, but I'm not that smart!
great to know about this euphemisms words Im sure this can be usefull sometimes or some are using euphemisms words already and they are used to it.
Yes! Are you and your children doing ok?
Euphemisms- you can't live without em.
These days I often have to go and syphon the python, especially in the middle of the night!
Wait until you're my age... I was thinking about setting up a cot in the bathroom! The guy I used to call Russell the Love Muscle is now just a pain in the dick!
Since we're on this subject, I got this on my feed today:
A very valid point! Sounds like something George Carlin would come up with!
Indeed.
I would've responded earlier, but I had to go Drain the Main Vein.
I've been playing with the idea of doing a euphemism post along those lines... My fav is "The one-eyed trouser snake."
Hahahah true.. sounds weird if you read it as it supposed to be..but yeah..it's acceptable 😁😁
That just made my day.
