| This weekend, I attended a readers' conference. It was a lot of fun, but my favorite part was the discussion about euphemisms. Pleasure dome and pink-skinned cobra were two of my favorites. But readers were divided about which they preferred--euphemisms or the four-lettered words. Personally, I think it depends on the context. Sometimes only a bit of the "how's your father" will do. Other times I don't graphic language like the "c" and "p" words. But what I really want to know is: What's the best (and by best I mean worst) euphemism you've read in a book? |

"Her feminine channel" - and it was used over and over and over throughout the book in question.
Chris, as opposed to her masculine one?
"Spurting meatpole" is pretty much the record for me. [cough] I doubt anything will ever surpass it, either.

Thanks angie, your euphemism got my coffee out my nose. Never heard that one, but you're right, it'll be tough to top. lol
OMG, Angie. Next time please give us a spew warning. Oh, that sounded kind of naughty.
"Chocolate tunnel of love."
Though, for me, "pink dolphin" comes a close second.
Someone from a workshop I was in once wrote "He worried the nub at the top of her pleasure mound" and thankfully I wasn't there that week or I feel I might have laughed in her face.
The clitoris is NOT a chew toy!
Or is it?
Anton: Depends on the owner of said nub.
Oh, forgot "tube steak."
*laughs like crazy woman* Omg, my ones are nothing compared to these! "Spurting meatpole" is definitely the best. Or should that be, worst?
