I caught crap for having this on a sign in my lab way back when.

"Doing a good job around here is like pissing in your wetsuit. You get a nice warm feeling all over but noone else notices"



Oooh, that reminds me of one of my favorites. (Thank you, Judge Judy.)

"Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."




Moonhead -> RE: Euphemisms (1/20/2013 1:43:21 PM)

One of my favourites is "seagull management", which describes the management technique that involves flying in, making a lot of noise and shitting everywhere, then flying out and vanishing leaving somebody else to clear up the mess you've made.

I also like "fang hag", which describes any female goth with a particularly tragic vampire fixation...




DomMeinCT -> RE: Euphemisms (1/20/2013 1:47:23 PM)


Six of one, half-dozen of another.

Good enough for government work.

A few cards short of a full deck.

Happy as a pig in shit.

And, a recent tv car insurance commercial about Karl the lion and two antelopes:

Happier than two antelopes with night vision goggles!

Below is my original post. I probably should have titled this, "favorite sayings" as I meant to leave it open. :)

One slate off and one sliding.

Colder than a witch's tit.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Birds of a feather, flock together.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Measure twice; cut once.




Duskypearls -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 5:10:45 PM)

Euphemism: I lost my daughter

Definition: My daughter died.

"a stitch in time saves nine"


My overly legalized brain first read this as "a switch in time that saved nine." That, of course, is a reference to the Supreme Court and the time that justices switched their votes to begin upholding FDR's New Deal legislation after FDR threatened his court-packing plan. SCOTUS switched, FDR was happy, and we stayed with 9 justices.


I thought this was actually a lot more practical. I thought it meant if your hem has a few loose stitches, take care of them before the job gets a lot bigger.




hlen5 -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 5:28:34 PM)

Also, "All hat, no cattle".




littlewonder -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:11:37 PM)

My favorite has always been "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"




NuevaVida -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:31:39 PM)

Why buy the sausage when you can get the pig for free? [8D]




NuevaVida -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:34:34 PM)

My dad used to say, "I think you're a few bricks shy of a load"




TNDommeK -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:35:28 PM)

" so ugly he makes a train take a dirt road" lol




TwoHeartsBeatOne -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:35:55 PM)

Older than time.




NuevaVida -> RE: Euphemisms (1/21/2013 7:36:26 PM)

I do like "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
