  • Make Whoopee, Service the Clam, Hide the Snake in the Bush: What's Your Choice of Euphemism?

    I loved watching The Newlywed Game on the Game Show Network because I loved hearing the questions that involved "making whoopee" just because I wanted to hear them say it. It sounded ridiculous, and though I knew that the euphemism really meant "having sex," I couldn't help but imagine a couple taking turns fooling each other with a whoopee cushion.

    Some other ridiculous ones I know, and could never use without laughing:

    1) Bouncing the Pogo Stick
    2) Hiding the Snake in the Bush
    3) Burying the One-Eyed Worm
    4) Mommy-Daddy Dance
    5) Tickle Her Belly from the Inside
    6) Plugging the Hole
    7) Parting the Pink Sea
    8) Probing the Membrane
    9) Pickle Tickle
    10) Ride the Skin Bus to Tuna Town
    11) Slap Bellies
    12) Put Sour Cream in the Taco
    13) Doing the Mattress Mambo
    14) Smash Pissers
    15) Thread the Needle


    Whenever I talk about sex, I stick to the standard "having sex," "making love," and (excuse my vulgarity for a second) "fucking."

    What do you typically say when referring to "having sex"? Know any other ridiculous sounding euphemisms?
