Finished A Man About a Dog. Euphemisms for going to the lavatory, other bodily functions, having sex and being drunk abound. Can you believe that 'riding the rag' is a euphemism for menstruation!
After reading Nancy Gibbs's essay on rape of female soldiers by their fellow soldiers, I was particularly unamused by the many euphemisms for rape. In some instances Nigel Rees does not even have the decency to call the crime (rape) by its name: "robbed of her honour: Seduced, forcibly relieved of her virginity."
