I was leafing through Carlin's book "Braindroppings" and I found these euphemisms, and I have to tell ya, I like 'em too!
Blow job= holistic massage therapy
Cheap hotel= limited service lodging
Baldness= acquired uncombable hair
Loan-sharking= interim financing
seat belt/air bag= impact management system
nonbelievers= the unchurched
smuggling= commodity relocation
cardboard box= makeshift home
bad loans= non performing assets
gangs= nontraditional organized crime
junk mail= direct marketing
soda jerk= fountain attendant
Carlin has tons of these(at least a lot), and I just typed my favorites. What are your best euphemisms? Share them with us! There has to be newer ones, this book was written in '97.
Trashmen-Sanitary Engineers.
And the janitor has become a house technician...
Even the people who scrape crap and roadkill off the highways are now called 'Debris-orientated scientists.'
Thieving bastards = "congress." Where'd they ever come up with that one?
i loooove geroge carlin, he's friggin hillarious...
George is reaching out to new generations...
