@DrewDad,
nah.

That was years ago.

Now I can say passed away and not flinch!


But I still hope euthanased pets don't wake up.

We engage in a lot of "preemptive self defense"

I hadda look this one up , I forgot that it morphed into an acronym.
"Controlled Flight into Terrain" (CFIT)

"Talking to Ralph on the big white phone" always makes me laugh. It's a euphemism for puking.

@Ragman,
Same as tycoon's.

It might be an Ozzian expression.

The missus and I have our own euphemism for mean, hard little dry turds you get when you're dehydrated.

It's "Kerry Kittles."

I don't remember why.

@patiodog,
I think that is a NAME, not a euphemism.

@dlowan,
It's a name used as a euphemism. Like Aunt Flo.

@sozobe,
No, no.

I mean there IS no name for such turds.

Patio and his beloved have CREATED the name.

I didn't mean it was the name of the fella whose name it is.

As it were.

It is now the name of a special variety of turd.
