Any euphemism for any topic that you think uses euphemism very well. Should be very witty and fun!

This is not really my favorite euphemism but it is a great story and too long to write all the details here, but here is the gist of it .... enjoy and have a laugh ...
Two women were sharing a hospital room after they had delivered their babies. Where I live, we say that one was from "around the bay" and the other was a "townie". The townie woman was very posh and bragged to the bay woman about the lovely gifts her husband gave her each time she had a baby - gold earrings at the birth of her first baby (bay woman says "That's nice! That's really, really nice!"), a daimond necklace at the birth of her second baby (bay woman says "That's nice! That's really, really, nice!"), an emerald bracelet at the birth of her third baby (bay woman says "That's nice! That's really, really nice!")
Townie woman says to bay woman,"You've had lots of babies. When you had your babies did your husband give you any lovely gifts?" Bay woman says, "Well, yes, after one of the kids he sent me for elocution lessons!"
Townie woman says, "Elocution lessons? That doesn't seem like a very nice gift to give you after having a baby. What good did that do you?"
Bay woman says, "Before I had my elocution lessons I used to say 'Who gives a ****', but now I say "That's nice! That's really, really nice!"
"That's nice!" has become a favoirite jesting euphemism among quite a group of people around here and it has brought many laughs.

I always enjoyed the phrase "beating the Bishop" ... and "waxing the flagpole" ... of course those are sexual, but whose keeping track ... by the way, some of you don't seem to know what a 'euphemism' is

There are so many now with the PC movement. Passed on-Left us-Went to a better place-Is with the Lord-Went to meet His maker- when in reality the person died. I, also, like the hearing challenged. The person is deaf.

Uh oh works in place of a lot of vulgar words. A good habit to cultivate if you work around little children.

"passed away" for died.
There are many euphemisms having to do with death and dying.

"Calling Europe on the big while telephone"! Ever listen to someone being sick? Sounds like Europe to me.

I've always liked "praying to the porcelain god" and "having déjà vu with my lunch" for vomiting.
