Laying cable, dropping the Cosby kids at the pool and, my favorite, blasting a dookie. What are the funniest or most inventive euphemism for taking a crap that you’ve ever heard? ---

I never expected to be more than mildly amused at the Larry The Cable Guy movie, but watched it once while stuck in a motel … and nearly lost it when he mentioned “taking the Browns to the Super Bowl.” Hadn’t heard that one before. ---

I’ve always enjoyed “Fishing for brown trout.” Somewhere back in the mists of antiquity here on the Dope, someone in some thread somewhere had mentioned something about some celebrity’s asshole boyfriend and how she ought to “chuck the turd out.” Ever since, I’ve often found myself saying … “Excuse me, I’ll be back in about 10 minutes; I need to go chuck a turd out.” ---

> [@MostlyClueless](#): > > I got it from someone at the Dope, no idea who it was; > > “Beaming down a Shatner” Wonder if it was me? I use that phrase sometimes…dunno if I’ve used it here or not. I stole it from somebody else…possibly one of the comedians at Shatner’s roast. ---
