By the way, for amusing and bizarre euphemisms for male masturbation, play iSketch on the wordlist 'XXX'. Such terms always involve (random verb) the (very, very slightly phallic object).
Flaming the parsnip, wringing the Pringles can, etc.

Haha, I think I've actually drawn a weasel get drained on iSketch. I know the word 'weasel' has popped up a few times. I wonder how weasels react to beavers.

Add to the list:
'beaver'

Women might not talk about that kind of thing, but our conversations at work vary from the absurd to the obscene on an hourly basis.

I think its more to do with male orientated teams, it was funny to see the people who had to sit near us reactions when we broached such topics as power w*nks, kinky blow jobs, sexual injuries etc, one woman blew her lid and told us to shut up (which just made it worse and made us target her), one woman just started listening to music and one girl loved it and started joining in with the banter.

Possibly. It does make sense, psychologically speaking. Though I have known a few female IT pros give as good as they get on such subjects, but then maybe its because its a male dominated industry. Who knows?

Hmm, behavioural psychology.. Theirs another possible uni subject. Ng! Decide dammit. Stop being so interested in everything.

I find any and all euphamisms for tugging the weasel hilarious, because I am 8 innit. I know there are euphamisms I detest but I can't think of them offhand.

The original potato.

Snuffed it, popped one, passed away, pushing daisies, gone to a better place, sent to the Shadow Realm. Basically any euphemism for death.

Multiplied if followed by the cheesy "Don't worry, I'm sure he/she's out there, somewhere, looking down on us..." Gawh!

To be fair, you'd probably be underpaying for the components. I reckon it would be about 15 quid just for the bagel and fillings needed to pull it off.

Exactly. Plus the fact Sleeping Together means not sleeping together.

I'm so hostile to things like this because I take most things literally at first even if I've heard the phrase before (as if on reflex) THEN realise what it's inferring.
