Mainstream, Meet Smart-ass Humor

First, I see in a recent article that The Wall Street Journal explains YTMND. Then, the next thing I know I see a piece where Richard Roeper explains the shocker. Expect to see The New York Times feature on the Cleveland Steamer in this week's Style section. Or maybe Brian Williams doing an expose on the hot Karl.

For an eye-opening look at an extensive list of sexual slang, there's no better place to look than Wikipedia. And for some not so hot colloquialisms, a few from McSweeney's Sexual Euphemisms That Won't Catch On:
  • Taking the F train to Queens
  • Getting a quart of milk and a carton of eggs from the store
  • Forgetting to pick up your sister from soccer practice
  • Paying extra for refills
  • Trying on the sweater Nana sent you
  • Dropping the car off at the mechanics
  • De-boning the salmon fillet
  • Rewinding the tape before returning it
  • Double-bagging the trash
  • Checking the tire pressure
  • Separating your colors and whites before doing the laundry
  • Getting overcharged on the cheese
  • Flipping that jackass the bird after he cut you off on the parkway
  • Compounding 4 percent interest annually
  • Lather, rinse, and repeating
  • Keeping up with current events
  • Buying pants at Marshalls
  • Ordering Chinese for lunch
  • Signaling before changing lanes
