Some I remember from my music days:
Greasing your trombone slide
Practicing your fingering
Excercising your embouchure
Rosining your bow
Oiling your valves
Double-tounging
Moistening your reed
Adjusting the tension on the head
Paradiddle
Five stroke roll

Top Ten Expressions That Sound Dirty But Really Aren’t
When my orchestra meets in sectionals to practice a particularly difficult piece, we divide up by instruments, and, since each group plays the same thing, we started calling them homosectionals.
Of course, us string players have a good time, since all of our instruments have f-holes and G strings.
Hee-hee…we had one in Quiz Bowl that hacked off our coach to no end. From time to time, we’d eat something in the bus and try to talk to each other - that was bad enough in her eyes. But this one time, we got the entire bus rolling in the aisle when she yelled, “What are you all doing back there???” (For the record, I think we were trying to play a card game of some sort.) My S.O. yelled back, with a mouthful of chips, “We’re masticating!!!”
As I tell this, a saying comes to mind: “Clean mind or clean body, you pick.”
From an astrology website:
“How did Helene come to be in Dione’s Lagrange point?”
Referring to the orbit of two of Saturn’s moons, if you must know.
I mean, an astronomy website.
From the OP:
And Matt, I was about to say… An astrologer who’d heard of Lagrange points? Sheesh.
Slip of the tongue.

Does “doper” used as “Straight Dope reader” count?
It really had me fooled. I thought everyone here was supposted to be a 60’s dropout or something.
Hey, I was in a deli the other day and noticed a hand-lettered sign they had put up explaining why their store-brand sausage was so good. It read, in part:
I didn’t want to know anything else they did after that.
There’s a new word going around my school that is used as a curse word.
MURFUR!
Pronounced phonetically, fast or slow. I have no clue as to its origin.
Garfield, I hate to nitpick, but the accurate quote for your sig. is “My friend, either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are unaware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community.”
Congrats on getting the Prof’s alma mater and graduation class correct. I had forgotten he was Gold Medal Class.
Prestidigitation
Dave, are you going from the movie? I am, and my soundtrack just says, “Well. . .”
Once, a boy in my class, not known for his mastery of words, was responding to the (female) teacher saying he failed infront of the whole class.
The class started giggling. He realized what he said and began corrections.
The class was in an uproar by then.
BTW, he didn’t get in trouble.
A few years ago, I got an e-mail from a friend with the “Top 10” dirty lines from each of the original three Star Wars movies. Some of them included:
“You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.”
“Get on top of it!”
“Pull out, Wedge! You can’t do any more good back there.”
“And I thought these things smelled bad on the outside.”
“Not bad, for a little fuzzball.”
“You want this, don’t you?”
One line that wasn’t on the list, but my wife always thought should be, was by the Emperor in Return of the Jedi: “I can feel your hate swelling within you.” That particular line has thus become a euphamism for us for when something else is swelling…
