by Ella Drake November 5th, 2009 at 4:47 amHard to pick a favorite, but I think maybe “Road to a Christening.”
LOL these are great! I like, Columns of Venus, it has a nice ring to it.
Happy T13!

ALthough happy hunting grounds made me snort.
by Inez Kelley November 5th, 2009 at 6:13 amHapping hunting grounds? LOL You can’t be serious. Hilarious.
by Adelle Laudan November 5th, 2009 at 6:46 amHappy T13!
Inglenook? I had no idea.
by Alice Audrey November 5th, 2009 at 7:50 amSerpent Socket?????OMG! That’s so funny.
by Jennifer Leeland November 5th, 2009 at 7:51 amAnd Happy Hunting Grounds makes me think of the Peter Pan cartoon where Captain Hook tells Tiger Lily she’ll never walk the Happy Hunting Grounds if she drowns.
Um, I wonder if that was some Freudian slip. LOL.
Okay, how did I miss the male counterpart post? LOL
by Helen Hardt November 5th, 2009 at 8:11 amWowsers! Do the residents of Inglenook know its meaning?
I love these! Thank you!

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
by Paige Tyler November 5th, 2009 at 9:41 amOh so funny! Have you guys heard of this medieval one? (probably somewhere around 12th century)
It is the lovely…. Quim… And I did use it several times in one of my medievals. I asked my cp if she understood what I meant, to which she replied, oh yes, I get the meaning quite well. LOL
by Kaye Manro November 5th, 2009 at 10:12 amI think Happy Hunting Grounds is the funniest but Serpent Socket is a close second! Happy Thursday!
by Sophia Parkwood November 5th, 2009 at 11:27 amI actually had a difficult time choosing my favorites. The book has fun cartoons as well, which make me laugh each time I see them.
by Shelley Munro November 5th, 2009 at 12:17 pmI can honestly say I have not heard any of these before. Definitely imaginative. lol
by Heather November 5th, 2009 at 1:12 pmYou missed “The end of the rainbow”
by Amy Gallow November 5th, 2009 at 1:23 pmI have never heard these. Serpent socket is my favorite.
by Linda Henderson November 5th, 2009 at 1:38 pmOh, geez. This list made me cross my legs without realizing it…
by Susan Helene Gottfried November 5th, 2009 at 1:52 pmSome of these are fabulously funny. “Road to a Christening” nearly made me spew root beer on my computer screen.
by Elise Logan November 5th, 2009 at 6:48 pmHappy hunting grounds cracked me up too. It was fun trying to work out which terms to include.
Susan – I hear you. I wanted to cross my legs. Actually I kept having visions of an intimate scene with the woman crooning, “Come to my happy hunting grounds.”
by Shelley Munro November 5th, 2009 at 7:38 pmKaye – I’ve heard that term and actually used it in one of my historicals.
Amy G – That’s one term I haven’t heard before.
Helen – yes, last week’s TT was the male counterpart.
by Shelley Munro November 5th, 2009 at 7:39 pmFun hatch? That one alone made me laugh out loud! ;D
by Cari Quinn November 5th, 2009 at 7:53 pm…Netherlands…LOL!!
by Julia Smith November 5th, 2009 at 8:20 pmLOL Happy Hunting Ground. Cute!
by N.J. Walters November 6th, 2009 at 4:05 amYowzers! I just discovered “thurs.13″ through visiting blogfriends. Terrific post right “up my alley” (ahem *wink*). Only one of these would come to mind for my euphemism list. Great research! This reminds me of what I did with “junk” for Sun. Scribblings” prompt a while back!
by Gel November 6th, 2009 at 5:29 pmJunk Drawer(s) This looks like an entertaining writing prompt to get my juices, I mean, fingers flowing every thurs! Terrific post! Am bookmarking you.
Gel – I’m glad you enjoyed the post.
