The Power Of Euphemisms

(I'd love to know when someone came up with that one.)

Probably while they were doing time birthing doc guards and wiping their wardens.

If you will pardon me, I have to go pay the water bill.

When I started this, I decided to look and see if I could find some I hadn't heard of... There were pages! Some so bizarre I wouldn't even use them!

That is odd, I used the term with a kid last Thursday and had to look some up, too.

Me and her mom were talking about someone else's 'monkey on their back' when the kid asked what that meant, so I explained that euphemisms were when you say one thing but mean another.
The best I could come up with was 'your cows are getting out'.
Luckily that distracted her long enough that she didn't call me on not answering her question about monkeys.

With all of the painkillers I have to take, I often feel like I'm carrying King Kong around!

Have you tried MMJ?

I started in 1962... It makes pain worse because I think about it more. That doesn't mean I don't like to get high though!

Lol, they say that opiate consumption is going down in states where mmj is legal.

I agree that my toothaches hurt more high, and that is a sad day in paradise.
Can't get high, and my tooth won't stop hurting.

Well, what doesn't kill us, just makes us grumpier, eh?

If you understood my pain level you would understand more... I'll take all of your toothaches if you spend 1 week in my body!

No, thanks.
I have been very lucky to live mostly pain free.
