This is to be a thread about common English words that have been polluted (either in your mind or in general society). Submit words that have a second, smutty meaning. If the porn definition is not obvious, please share.
My contributions are shaft (obvious) and backyard (butt or anal cavity).
Everytime I hear those words in any context I can’t help but think of them in the dirty way.

Anytime I hear the word squirrel, all I can think of is SqrlCub’s posts regarding bears/squirrel/other animals and how they relate to gay men.
My sig line is currently unavailable. Please check this post in 1 hour when we resume our broadcast day.
Well, squirrels always make me think of nuts. Hey!
Seriously, it might be easier to list words that DON’T have sexual connotations.
Organ, pork, backdoor, clam, pie…these were the first five that came to mind in the first two seconds…Hey! Came!

Can anyone explain to me, “Putting from the rough”? I’m an avid golfer, but when I heard it uttered in Good Will Hunting, I took it to mean anal sex. Is that right?
The most rewarding part was when I got my money!

Since hearing some bawdy jokes from some female co-workers, redwoods (the trees) aren’t the same for me anymore.
That, and the beautiful goldenrod flower.
Is there no respect even for the beautiful botanical specimens of our world?
Well—see another thread, in GQ—I have a hard time eating shrimp now.
Well, what about “gay”? You can’t say “gay” as in “happy and…” or “a … old time” “the … Nineties” anymore without getting snickered at.
An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille.
How about “ass?”
It’s a word of uncertain origin, originally referring only to small, funny-lookin’ equine critters, but because of its similarity to the word “arse,” it came to mean something else.
“Arse,” OTOH, a good ole one-syllable Germanic word, is hardly used anymore.
Mjollnir,
‘Arse’ is still commonly used in Britain.
I never touched him, ref, honest!
Great contributions, everyone! Keep 'em comming! (groan)
I thought of another one: Trim (oral sex performed on male)

Rim; rubber; prick; pussy . . . Omigod, if one of my bosses walks by right now I am in SUCH trouble . . .
Prick.
As George Carlin said about words you couldn’t say on TV, “You can prick your finger, but don’t ever finger your prick!”
Yer pal,
Satan
One that always makes me laugh evey time I hear it is gromet. On the Loveline radio show, Adam has invented a “Love Gromet”, to keep the male from penetrating too far.
Gromet, HA!
Life is tough, it’s tougher if you’re stupid.
Just like Homer Simpson, I giggle like a schoolgirl when I hear “tithmouse”. Also:
Morass
snatch
And I’m sure someone in the Middle East used “Camel Toe” before it gained a new def’n.
“Faggot” was originally a stick or twig, and the word is still used as such in Britain. I had serious ROFLMAO when I read in Lord of the Rings about how someone “threw some faggots into the fire”.
The phrase “black hole” dismays Russian astronomers, since in Russian it has an unsavory connotation.
“Bondage” is now nearly unusable as a synonym for slavery.

There was a young girl from Madras
Who had a most marvelous ass.
Not rounded and pink
As you probably think;
It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass.

Camel toe? Not that it’s a phrase that I have to use often, but I surely wouldn’t want to offend. Do tell.
Lumpy, I too found that hilarious. To this day I when ever I’m camping and I’m preparing the campfire I scream out, “Let’s go find some faggots and Burn Them!” Then we all sit around the fire and have a gay old time!
