They’re not as funny, but still very telling! LOL!
My personal favorite: Downstairs. There’s so much opportunity to abuse that term. bwahaahahaaa!

Ciao for now!
Happy TT!

Hard to pick a favorite, but I think maybe “Road to a Christening.”

Happy T13!

Happing hunting grounds? LOL You can’t be serious. Hilarious.
Happy T13!

Inglenook? I had no idea.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:51 am · Link
Serpent Socket?????OMG! That’s so funny.
And 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

Wowsers! Do the residents of Inglenook know its meaning?
I love these! Thank you!

Oh 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

I think Happy Hunting Grounds is the funniest but Serpent Socket is a close second! Happy Thursday!

I actually had a difficult time choosing my favorites. The book has fun cartoons as well, which make me laugh each time I see them.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:12 pm · Link
I can honestly say I have not heard any of these before. Definitely imaginative. lol
November 5th, 2009 at 1:23 pm · Link
You missed “The end of the rainbow”
November 5th, 2009 at 1:38 pm · Link
I have never heard these. Serpent socket is my favorite.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:52 pm · Link
Oh, geez. This list made me cross my legs without realizing it…
November 5th, 2009 at 6:48 pm · Link
Some of these are fabulously funny. “Road to a Christening” nearly made me spew root beer on my computer screen.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:38 pm · Link
Happy 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.”
November 5th, 2009 at 7:39 pm · Link
Kaye – 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.

Yowzers! 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!
Junk Drawer(s) This looks like an entertaining writing prompt to get my juices, I mean, fingers flowing every thurs! Terrific post! Am bookmarking you.
