A friend of mine in high school got in trouble for trying to use this:
“Don’t pull on that…you don’t know what it’s attached to.”
for his yearbook quote. For goodness sake, it’s about brain surgery. School administrators have such dirty minds .
Then there’s always “Bowling a maiden over”…
(waits to see if any other American dopers will get that one.)
One of the English (language, not lit) textbooks I teach from has a dialogue where a man explains to a florist why he’s buying so many roses. It’s his anniversary, and his wife is still mad at him about what he did the previous year.
If we really want innocent phrases that sound dirty, how about: “While we were at drama camp, my sister and I became thespians together.”
And my personal favorite, from a baby-care book, explaining that both mother and child will appreciate when rectal thermometers are coated with vaseline or KY Jelly before use: “Once well-lubricated, insertion will be much more comfortable for both parties.” :eek:
As I said to one of my fellow teachers, “This guy had better be using that as some sort of filthy slang, otherwise…well, what the hell kind of an anniversary gift is a hammer?”
I broke my toe this week and went today to get those socks that have separate toes so I can wear flip flops for a few days. Putting them on I told my daughter –
In highschool, one of my friends was having fun turning any normal, innocent phrase into something sexual. I was trying to stump her. As I explained to another friend: "I’ve been trying to think of a phrase that can’t be turned dirty. I’ve been at it all day!"
I had a roomie who bought a new scratching post for his cat. Weeks later, he was talking about a female coworker and identified her with the phrase, “She’s the one I gave the ol’ scratchin’ post.”
But I do love, “…She had the most beautiful face I’ve ever come across.”
