Title: Euphemisms
Post by: Gopher on Oct 29 07 12:36
All entertaining euphemisms that you can think of, please.

  Here are some I've come across regarding pregnancy:

  In the club

In the pudding club

Up the duff

To have one's wind set

  Going to the toilet:

  I once knew a woman who always used to say that she was going to make a lady of herself,

I also came across the expression  "going for a gispy's kiss" - this was cockney rhyming slang, work it out.

  More cockneyisms (for a closely allied function):

  Going for a pony  (pony and trap)

Going for a tom tit

Started a daisy farm.

Checked in but didn't check out.

Was beamed up.

Bit the dust.

Bought a pine condo.
