No, choking his chicken is a euphemism for his whacking off. [:D]

Or is it the other way around? [>]:)]

MilSpeak - "Target negated" = Blew the snot out of them.

LawSpeak - "Dismissed with prejudice" = Never bring this damn foolish case into my courtroom again.

PsychoSpeak - "Help me to understand" = You are stupid. Explain your point, if you have one.

PoliSpeak - Helping those less fortunate = Tax increase. A big one. On you.

And one from real life:

NASASpeak -

Controller speaking, "Go for throttle up..."

"throttle 104 percent, velocity 2900..."

"Lost data... Loss of downlink..."

"Obviously, a major malfunction..."

"collateral damage" for dead civilians, accidentally killed in war;

"revenue enhancement" for tax increases;

"sanitary engineer" for garbageman;

"people of color" for anybody who is darker in color AND poorer than me. [@:D]   What am I- transparent? White (pink, actually, esp. this time o' year) is a color, too, ya know...[:)]

"gun safety" for "gun control", which is also a euphemism for "mass disarmament"[>:/]



There are other examples which will come to me later, I'm sure.........[:D]

The most commonly used euphemism in our county government is "no money".  We say that when people want their road paved or other projects approved.  It's a nice way of saying "phuck you" or "get lost".

"leaving Mr. Anderson a present in his tool shed"

"Boxing old Josh"

Seems to me "seatbelt check", "safety checkpoint", etc., etc, are euphemisms for "unconstitutional search" or "fourth amendment violation". [rolleyes]

How 'bout "dropping the kids off at the pool". [:D]

My favorite euphimistic expression was stolen from Dandy Don Meredith. He was talking about a player who fumbled the ball.

"He showed an inherent inclination to cause something objectionable"

Translation:"He fucked up"

He was poking fun at Cosell of course
