    euphamisms: translation pretty sounding words, often for less pretty realities.

    often an adjunct to obfuscationism and the darling of coporate media and political opportunists.

    code phrases. like calling the presidential goon squad plumbers because their office is in the 'basement' of the white house.

    super mario brothers, the real devinci code. works on so many levels.

    the Nazi party? interesting. I think euphemisms are for people that can't handle reality.

    Or for little kids. Often those two go hand in hand, however.

    I was thinking little kids, such as the things you were told as a kid, that you didn't quite understand. But really, I am open to anything, anyone thinks about euphemisms... but that was my initial idea.

    I just used a euphemism in a conversation with a friend...

    booshnoogs: know how we joke about "dropping the kids off at the pool"?
    booshnoogs: I just dropped off a sumo wrestler
    booshnoogs: ouch
    booshnoogs: ...
    anonymous: I dropped fat albert off one time...

    Yes I do, although if they are petite, then I consider myself still on duty.

    You're good! I wish every man considered themselves still on duty after giving ONLY a minor orgasm...

    I'm glad they don't. If every man did, then I wouldn't outshine so many of them ;)

    I meant the world needs MORE unique people... which would make LESS ordinary people... but at the same time, there couldn't be too many unique people or else, being unique would be ordinary...

    So what you're saying is that the world needs more people who are interesting in giving big deaths?

    You guess? You can't guess. I'm asking you.

    Look, do you want more big giant orgasms or not?

    OK then. I'm glad that we finally unravelled all this twisted logic and came to a conclusion. Penny wants monster orgasms.

    Ummm, is there anybody around who can give penny a hand?
