Hurricane of Euphemisms

""He's not pining, he's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket! He's shuffled off this mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! This is an EX-PARROT!''""

- Mr. Praline, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Parrot Sketch

When someone lets off a string of euphemisms, synonyms, and/or translations from other languages to emphasize a point.

A subtrope of Rapid-Fire Comedy. Often use to mock and/or subvert Never Say "Die". Similar to Hurricane of Puns. Compare Freudian Slippery Slope. Contrast Cluster F-Bomb.

 * This advert gives us a hurricane of Visual Puns... it may take a while for the penny to drop. (It's for .)

Anime & Manga
""What's a blow job?" "That's... fellatio... fella-chan?... lip service..." "Lick-suck... flute play... chirp-chirp-lick-lick..." "Stop it!""
 * Futari Ecchi:


 * (also... fella-chan?)
 * (great porn star name)
 * The real beauty of that is that the usual onomatopoeia for "chirp chirp" in Japanese is "chin-chin", which doubles as a childish way to say "penis".

Comic Books
"Loki: What brings me here... to the kingdom of the dead... ulp! Does this mean I have... passed away? Hel: Away? You're right here. Loki: Have I found my peace? Hel: You don't look very peaceful. Loki: Ceased to breathe? Hel: Doesn't sound like it. Loki: Kicked the bucket? Hel: What bucket? Loki: Danced the last dance... perished... pushing up the daisies... snuffed out... croaked... Am I DEAD, damn it?!"
 * Captain Haddock of Tintin loves to hurl hurricanes of obscure euphemisms at his enemies.
 * This was originally to please the Moral Guardians, as Hergé couldn't have his character using foul language in a comic read by children. Then it became a definite quirk of the personage.
 * All of Haddock's curses can be found here, in alphabetical order.
 * Zodon from PS238 does this a fair bit... or would, if that "Barry Ween" chip didn't translate all his swearwords into non-offensive terms, and actual hurricanes into excerpts from show tunes.
 * In The Savage Dragon, when Super Tough, after years of being Trapped in Another World, reunites with his former sidekick Mace AKA Young Tough, they greet each other with a passionate kiss, prompting Noble Bigot with a Badge Howard Niseman to spend the whole rest of the scene in the background muttering euphemisms for "gay".
 * In the thirteenth Valhalla album, when Loki upon finding himself in the underworld tries to ask Hel if he's really dead or not, he uses every every possible euphemism for "death," only to have her completely misunderstand them all, until he breaks down and screams the real word. Translated and paraphrased:

"Pilot: Dick! Dick, take a look out starboard. Dick: Oh my God. It looks like a huge-- Woman: Pecker!... Wait, that's not a woodpecker, that looks like someone's-- Army Sergeant: Privates.

Willie: (squints) Well, that looks like a huge-- Colonel: Johnson. Johnson: Yes, sir?"
 * Beautifully subverted in The Marx Brothers' Horsefeathers, in which Groucho tries to tell Harpo that he can't burn the candle at both ends - Harpo produces a candle burning at both ends. Groucho tries another, Harpo produces, etc...
 * Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me escapes into space in a rocket that has a more-than-passing resemblance to a giant--

"Radar Operator: No, sir, he got away in that big spaceship that looks like a huge-- Teacher: Penis. The male reproductive organ. Also known as tallywhacker, schlong, or-- Friendly Dad: Wiener? Any of your kids want another wiener? Friendly Son: Dad, what's that? Friendly Dad: I don't know, son, but it has great big-- Peanut Vendor: Nuts. Hot, salty nuts. Who wants some?... Lord Almighty!

Woody Harrelson. Could I have your autograph? Woody: Sure. Oh, my Lord! Look at that thing! Fan: It's so huge. Woody: No, I've seen bigger. That's-- Dr. Evil: Just a little prick."
 * Subverted at the beginning of another hurricane on the same subject at the end of the film:

"Ozzy Osbourne: Boobs! They did this same thing in the last movie."
 * Done again and lampshaded in the third movie with the satellite that looks like a pair of giant--

"Fletcher: ... you had sex with her every time you met, didn't you? Didn't you?! LIAR! Opposing Counsel: He's badgering the witness! Judge Stevens: It's his witness. Fletcher: You slammed her, you dunked her donut, you gave her dog a Snausage! You stuffed her like a Thanksgiving turkey! (starts jumping up and down and making gobbling noises)"
 * From Liar Liar, Fletcher Reede attempting to ask a witness a question he knows will result in a lie (and even that he has proven incapable of doing)... and finally snapping and actually badgering a confession out of his own witness:

"Murray: Your man Christian is a cakeboy! He's a disco dancing, Oscar Wilde reading, Streisand ticket holding friend of Dorothy, know what I'm saying?"
 * In American Beauty, Lester Burnham lets loose with a short one of these at his wife when she catches him, ah... "saying hi to his monster".
 * Robin Williams does this in Patch Adams to cheer up a dying patient who'd proven inconsolable, using a string of euphemisms for dying to tickle the morbid funny bone.
 * Donald Faison's character does this in Clueless to illustrate that Cher's "boyfriend" is gay.

"Sigfried: Would you stop talking about his penis? Angela: How can I stop talking about something that's so huge? I could go on and on about his cock, his bone, his knob, his bishop, wang, thang, rod, hot rod, hump mobile, oscar, dong, dagger, banana, cucumber, salami, sausage, kielbassa, schlong, dink, tool, big ben, Mr. Happy, Peter Pecker, pee-pee, wee-wee, wiener, pisser, pistol, piston joint, hose, horn, middle leg, third leg, meat, stick, joystick, dipstick, one-eyed wonder, junior, little head, little guy, rumple foreskin, tootsie roll, love muscle, skin flute, roto-rooter, snake, hammer, rammer, spammer, bazooka, rubber, chubby, sticky, stubby, schmeck, schmuck, schvantze, ying-yang, yang..."
 * Four Rooms, the Second Room: The Bellhop is trapped with an armed man and his wife tied to a chair, mistaken for the wife's lover.

"Miss Davis: "Can anyone tell me a common slang term for the male erection?" Student: "Boner? Is boner one?" Miss Davis: "Yes! Boner is good, boner is very good! Moxon, how about you?" Jonathon "Mox" Moxon: The male erection. Pitchin' a tent, sportin' a wood, stiffie, flesh rocket, tall tommy, Mr. Morbis, the march is on, icicle has formed, Jack's magic beanstalk, rigor mortis has set in, Mr. Mushroom-head, mushroom on a stick, purple headed yogurt slinger... Oh, and Pedro." Miss Davis: "...Pedro?" Mox: "Yeah, uh huh.""
 * The closing Hilarious Outtakes reel in Grumpy Old Men features various different sexual euphemisms that Burgess Meredith had his character utter in different takes of the same scene. While technically not a use of this trope, the way they're edited and presented together in rapid succession gives it much the same effect.
 * Varsity Blues had this gem, set in a sex ed. class:

"Dante Hicks: 'Porch monkey' is a racial slur against black people! Randal Graves: Oh it is not! Coon, spook, spade, moolie, jigaboo, nig-nog, those are racial slurs against black people!"
 * There's Something About Mary has a Hurricane Of Euphemisms for A Date with Rosie Palms.
 * In Teen Witch, the teacher of a sex ed class holds up a rolled-up umbrella and asks the students to guess what it represents. One of them responds: "A Roger. A love one. Joystick, dong, zipper-lizard, tallywhacker, trouser-snake, schlong!"
 * Clerks 2 features what is more accurately described as a Hurricane of Dysphemisms:

"Kuzco: Oh, and by the way, you're fired. Yzma: Fired? W-W-What do you mean, "fired"? [Kuzco snaps his finger and a servant comes in and writes down Yzma's "pink slip"] Kuzco: Um, how else can I say it? "You're being let go." "Your department's being downsized." "You're part of an outplacement." "We're going in a different direction." "We're not picking up your option." Take your pick. I got more."
 * The Emperors New Groove:

"Joe Miller: Are you a homosexual?... Answer the question! Are you a homo? A faggot, a punk? A queen, pillow biter, fairy? Booty snatcher? Rump roaster? ARE YOU GAY?"
 * Done for dramatic effect in Philadelphia.

"Ernest P. Worrell: Like in real, really, really, really, really real prison? The hoose-gow, the slammer, the joint, Alcatraz, San Quentin, Sing Sing, Oh no. I'm in... I'm in... jaiiiiiiil!"
 * Ernest Goes to Jail:

"Jackson Curtis: I was listening to the broadcast and I was wondering what is exactly that's gonna start in Hollywood? Charlie Frost: It's the apocalypse. End of days. The Judgment Day, the end of the world, my friend. Christians called it the rapture, but the Mayans knew about it, the Hopis, the I Ching, the Bible, kind of..."
 * Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson) describing what the Apocalypse is in 2012.

"Dolores: It's a rotgut room. Holdover from Prohibition. Roger: Oh, I get it. A speakeasy, a gin mill, a hooch parlour!"
 * Who Framed Roger Rabbit?:

""Mah biscuits are burnin'! Fire in the hatch! Great horny toads, that smarts!""
 * Earlier, Yosamite Sam experiences a Rump Roast;

Literature
"Marco: You ever notice how many different ways there are to say "throwing up"? There's vomiting, of course. Hurling. Tossing your cookies. Puking, a classic. Ralphing...There's cascading. But I prefer the terms that are more real. Like blowing chunks. Spewing your guts. Tangoing with the toilet. That's a good one. Technicolor yawn.""
 * In one of the Time Warp Trio books, every time someone tries to say they're going to throw up, another character interrupts with a different euphemism: "toss your cookies", "ride the porcelain bus", "make a sidewalk pizza"...
 * Partial example in The Colour of Magic, where it's caused by Twoflower reading out all the synonymous alternatives suggested by his phrasebook at once.
 * Marco in Animorphs had a number of "vomit" euphemisms in one book.

""You mean take a dive, take a fall, throw the fight-" "Any of those will do, so long as he makes it look good.""
 * Welkin Weasels: Poynt wants Falshed to make sure a boxer he's bet against loses, and Falshed tries to start a euphemism hurricane:

"Harry: He doesn't believe in using surgically altered... uh... You know. Murphy: Boobs? Jugs? Hooters? Ya-yas? Harry: I guess. Murphy: Melons? Torpedoes? Tits? Gazongas? Knockers? Ta-tas? Harry: Hell's bells, Murph!"
 * The humor book A Guy's Guide to Dating has five full pages of euphemisms for A Date with Rosie Palms, from "adjusting the set" to "yanking the yo-yo," and including such gems as "dating Rosie Palm and her five sisters," "being your own best friend," "sheathin' the heathen," and many others.
 * In Tom Sharpe's black satire of life in apartheid South Africa, Indecent Exposure, the Nazi-inclined psychiatrist Dr von Blimenstein has to deal with a hysterical and sexually repressed Afrikaaner woman who is suffering from that common phobia, Blackcock Fever. Unable even to say the word penis, the patient resorts to euphemism as the (not) good doctor pretends ignorance: They've got such big ones. Hoo-has. Whatsits. Wibbledy wands. Pork swords. Knobs. Pee. Are. Eye. See. Kay. Spells "prick!" The root of the patient's anxiety is fear she is going to be raped when the blacks eventually rise in rebellion against apartheid combined with sexual repression. (This summarises three pages of hysterically funny dialogue on pp 172–175 of the paperback edition).
 * In The Dresden Files book Blood Rites, Harry and Murphy are discussing a porn director that Harry is working a case for. At one point he brings up the director's aversion to using breast implants in his films.

Live Action TV
"Interviewer: You are a paedophile. You are a nonce. You're a perv. You're a slot badger. You're a two pin din plug. You're a bush dodger. You're a small bean regarder. You're a unabummer. You're a nut administrator. You're a bent ref. You're The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. You're a fence vole. You're a free willy. You're a chimney bottler. You're a bunty man. You're a shrub rocketeer. Paedophile: Yes well, you know, you've just mentioned some of the names that we have to put up with every day and it's just another form of racism."
 * The page quote is from the legendary Dead Parrot sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus.
 * Many other sketches had similar lines. John Cleese and Graham Chapman would often write sketches together, using a thesaurus to come up with many ways of saying the same thing. This was later lampshaded by Eric and Graham, when, during one sketch where Eric (in drag) is naming off different ways to say "predict". A board comes down with a list of all the words he's saying, and the audience reads them off at the same time while Graham (also in drag) points to them.
 * The above sketch was written by Terry Jones and Michael Palin as a parody of the Cleese/Chapman. Terry and Michael were incredibly surprised when the group decided it was still funny enough to be filmed.
 * The beginning of Cleese's eulogy for Chapman: "Graham Chapman, co-author of the 'Parrot Sketch', is no more. He has ceased to be. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He's kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to meet the great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky."
 * The Bill featured Sgt. Gilmore (who was gay) in his first episode reeling off a long list of euphemisms for "gay".
 * Life On Mars also features Gene Hunt (who's not gay and is more like homophobic) doing a shorter, more offensive list of gay euphemisms.
 * Stargate SG-1: Jack O'Neill in "Window of Opportunity" saying, "Lose it. It means, go crazy... nuts... insane... bonzo... no longer in possessions of one's faculties... three fries short of a Happy Meal... WACKO!"
 * Along with a fantastic illustration.
 * From the Brass Eye pedophile special, with increasingly bizarre made-up euphemisms:

"The Doctor: If I have to endure another insult-- Banto Zane: Oh here we go, another voyage round the English language..."
 * While probably not humorous, on Doctor Who the Sixth Doctor (played by Colin Baker) has a habit of using such streams of related terms, especially when frustrated or angry. In one Big Finish audio adventure, a character says that talking to the Doctor is "like arguing with a bloody thesaurus!"
 * Another example from the same argument in the audio:

"Guinan: That's it, isn't it? You don't have any idea what a joke is. Data: Of course I do. It is a witticism, a gag, a bon mot, a fluctuation of words which concludes with a "trick" ending, it is..."
 * Which is probably a nod to the serial The Trial of a Time Lord, which revels in thesaurus abuse.
 * Data was known to do this in earlier seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

"Forrester: Frank, once again I'm going to have to kill you. Frank: You wanna run that by me one more time? Forrester: I'll run that by you one more time! (hitting Frank with his hat) Yeah, you know... kill... boost... ice... wax... skrag... douse... stifle... eighty-six... slip the Rosco... chill... dust... yank... toss a little kickshaw... raja..."
 * As does fellow robot Kryten in Red Dwarf, especially when annoyed.
 * Polly of Fawlty Towers does this to inform Basil that the new chef has gotten drunk while attempting to hide the same fact from the guests by following each euphemism with something that might reasonably be the object of said euphemism: "potted the shrimp", "soused the herrings", "pickled the onions", and "smashed the eggs". Under the table...
 * Mystery Science Theater 3000: At the end of Episode 320 (The Unearthly), TV's Frank pesters Dr. Forrester to do his Leo Gorcey impersonation:

"Joel: It's got bright-colored air fresheners that hang from strings, they stimulate baby's tiny brain, while the movement of the mobile activates charcoal filters, covering up the foul odor of baby's checher, ca-ca, po-po, nimbus, BM, and poopies. Servo: ... checher? Crow: ... nimbus?"
 * Joel gets in one of these earlier in the same season, explaining his Invention Exchange for Episode 307, the Air Freshener Mobile:


 * The IT Crowd: Played straight, and later Metaphorgotten by Douglas: "Well, I'm the boss, head honcho, el numero uno, Mr. Big, the Godfather, Lord of the Rings, the Bourne Identity, er... Taxi Driver, Jaws... Forgot the question a while ago."

"House: You mix rocking, grunting, sweating, and dystonia with concerned parents and you get an amateur diagnosis of epilepsy. In actuality, all your little girl is doing is saying "yoo hoo" to the hoo-hoo. Mother: She's what? House: Marching the penguin. Ya-ya-ing the sisterhood. Finding Nemo. Girl: That was funny. House: It's called gratification disorder. Sort of a misnomer. If one was unable to gratify oneself, that would be a disorder. Mother: (covering the girl's ears) Are you saying she's masturbating? House: I was trying to be discreet. There's a child in the room!"
 * House uses one of these to explain a child's odd behaviour to her mother:

"Stuart: Because I'm queer. I'm gay. I'm homosexual. I'm a poof, I'm a poofter, I'm a ponce. I'm a bumboy, batty-boy, backside artist, bugger. I'm bent. I am that arsebandit. I lift those shirts. I'm a faggot-ass, fudge-packing, shit-stabbing uphill gardener. I dine at the downstairs restaurant, I dance at the other end of the ballroom. I'm Moses and the parting of the red cheeks. I fuck and I am fucked. I suck and I am sucked. I rim them and wank them, and every single man's had the fucking time of his life. And I am not a pervert."
 * Speaking of Finding Nemothere was the talk Uncle Andy gave to Shane in Weeds about the same subject.
 * Queer as Folk: After Stuart's preteen nephew tries to blackmail him for being gay (Stuart's parents don't know) and with false accusations of paedophilia, Stuart corners him in front of the entire family and outs himself with a long stream of euphemisms and cacophemisms for homosexuality.

"AL: More about Tina? Dr. Ruth: Uh-huh. AL: Ah -- well -- ummm -- oh well, ha-ha-ha, she's got... great... casabas! Dr. Ruth: What are these... casabas? AL: Well you know... melons, ho-has, honkers, hooters, headlights, ah-- ta-tas? teeters, tweeters, tom-toms, tee-tees? [His face is all contorted trying to say just one word -- LOL] Dr. Ruth: Say it! AL: I'm trying to say it! Meatballs, mangos, cream pies, cupcakes, eh -- bangers, bouncers, bolumbas! Dr. Ruth: Al! AL: Bazongas! BREASTS! ...I said it! [With a very self-satisfied look on his face] Dr. Ruth: You see, it wasn't that hard. AL: Yes it was."
 * When Monk believed he had been accidentally exposed to marijuana, he spent a few minutes naming slang words for the drugs, all almost all of them made up.
 * A sometime-Catch Phrase used by Steve Urkel—whenever he made what he thought what a casual declaration of something, and people replied "Whaaaa?", he would reply with a Hurricane of Euphemisms.
 * When Sam switched places with Dr Ruth on Quantum Leap, Al took advantage of her presence in the waiting room to have a therapy session about his hangups:

"Randy: Well...they wear lots of makeup... Pee-Wee: Clowns! Randy: No...let's just say you'd be embarrassed to be seen with one... Pee-Wee: (nodding gravely) Mimes!"
 * Saturday Night Live: Wayne'sWorld would frequently do this when discussing vomiting, including in the movie.
 * One SNL sketch had series regular Randy Quaid trying to tell Pee-Wee Herman that he needs to get a prostitute, without coming out and saying it:

"Naomi: So, Katie, you gonna be nice to me now we're Twister pals? I promise not to grab your minge and everything. Katie: Okay, ha ha. Hands off the muff and we're sorted. Naomi: Gotcha. No buffing the beaver. Katie: No groping the growler. Naomi: Don't tickle on my tinkle. Katie: Okay, I won't fluff up your flange. Emily: * hurt* You done? Katie: Yep. We're double done with the DNA dump."
 * This goes on for a while until Pee-Wee finally says "Well, I don't get it; maybe you should just go see a hooker!"
 * Naomi and Katie do this for lesbianism in front of Emily in Skins. It's a rather awkward and painful sequence, as Katie thinks Naomi's gay (she's not - certainly at the time, and even by the end of the series she doesn't get past "confused"), while Naomi strongly (and rightly) suspects that Emily actually is gay, and Emily is nursing an epic crush on Naomi (which Naomi knows about, and isn't exactly pleased with until a couple of episodes later).

"Ali: We all know that it's called the bionic, the bomb, the puff, the blow, the black, the herb, the sensie, the cronic, the sweet Mary Jane, the shit, Ganja, split, reefa, the bad, the buddha, the home grown, the ill, the maui-maui, the method, pot, lethal turbo, tie, shake, skunk, stress, whacky, weed, glaze, the boot, dimebag, Scooby Doo, bob, bogey, back yard boogie. But what is the other terms for it?"
 * The autistic JJ also tends to launch into one of these whenever he gets locked on.
 * One Opening Monologue of Mock the Week concerning a police officer who joined in on a couple having sex in their car straddled this and Hurricane of Puns very quickly indeed. And very well.
 * The whole point of the Whose Line Is It Anyway? game, If You Know What I Mean.
 * Ali G, about drugs:

"Phoebe: In the cab on the way over, Steve blazed a doobie. Rachel: What?! Phoebe: Smoked a joint, ya know, lit a bone, weed, hemp, ganja. Rachel: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I know. Okay, I'm with you Cheech."
 * On Friends when one of Monica's prospective catering clients gets baked before coming to dinner.

""At four o'clock, an evil man made his bed and lay in it, a pot called a kettle black, a stone-thrower broke the windows of his glass house. You look for this one under 'F' for fanatic, and 'J' for justice...in the Twilight Zone.""
 * The closing narrative for the Twilight Zone episode "Four O'Clock" features a string of euphemisms for Laser-Guided Karma:

"Zelda: Hilda, we've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led down the primrose path and shoved into a thicket of thorns. Hilda: Huh?"
 * Corner Gas has an episode where Wanda uses several euphemisms for jail, confusing and annoying Brent.
 * On Game of Thrones, when Tyrion is called to confess his crimes, he confesses that when he was twelve, "I milked my eel, I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage, I made the bald man cry." And he did it into his sister's stew.
 * Sabrina the Teenage Witch when Zelda finds out that Morgan has been manipulating her and Hilda.

"Good God in heaven, Newbie. There are just so very many ways for me to say this to you: Never. Not in a million years. Absolutely not. No way, Jose. No chance, Lance. Nyet. Negatori. Mm-mm. Nuh-uh. Uh-uh. And of course, my own personal favorite of all time, man falling off of a cliff. Noooooooooo!"
 * In Scrubs, episode "My Brother, Where Art Thou?" (03x05) J.D. asks Dr. Cox for a favor. Reply is:

"10. Checked into the Wooden Waldorf. 9. No longer eligible for the census. 8. Dropping both AT&T and MCI. 7. Your highway taxes at work. 6. Upcoming guest on 20/20. 5. He's fallen and he can't get up. 4. Resting his organs. 3. McRibs (for a limited time only). 2. Kicked the oxygen habit. 1. Bought a Yugo."
 * Some of David Letterman's Top Ten lists qualify. Example, "The Top Ten Mafia Euphemisms for Death":

"Ida: He wanted children. Gus: And you didn't? Ida: Let's just say they weren't in the cards for him. Shawn: Meaning what? Ida: His juice had no pulp. His seed wasn't fruitful. He was pouring decaf. Pumping unleaded. His Hall had no Oates. He was sterile! Shawn: Oh! Sure."
 * In the Psych episode "Santabarbaratown", when Shawn and Gus are interviewing someone connected to the case:

Music
"Eric Idle as A Guy Who Is Totally Not Supposed To Be Noel Coward: Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis Isn't it frightfully good to own a dong It's swell to have a stiffy, it's divine to own a dick from the tiniest little tadger to the world's biggest prick! So three cheers for your willy or John Thomas Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, your percy or your cock You can wrap it up in ribbons or you can stick it in your sock But don't take it out in public or they'll put you in the dock And you won't a-come a-back."
 * "Pound Sign #?* !" as sung by Kevin Fowler is an example of this. The whole song basically lists euphemisms for curse words the narrator is no longer allowed to say now that he has small children at home.
 * Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" is basically a Hurricane of Euphemisms, though he has the advantage in that he's not always describing a woman's backside.
 * Singer Voltaire's "Sexy Data Tango" is one long string of this.
 * Roy Zimmerman's song "Firing the Surgeon General" is a Hurricane of Euphemisms for masturbation. (The title is a reference to Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who was fired after proposing that frank discussion of the topic should be part of sex education.)
 * A verse of the song "Bring On The Men" from Jerkyll and Hyde is made of this.
 * "The Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang. That is all.
 * In the same vein, by the same artist, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo". It contains some of the most... interesting sex euphemisms this troper has ever heard.
 * ..."Squishmitten?"
 * "Hypocrite, four-flusher, snake in the grass, just a swindler, a wolf in sheep's clothing... LIAR!" -- "All Is Forgiven", Jellyfish.
 * 99 Words For Boobs
 * Working Where the Sun Don't Shine (The Colorectal Surgeon's Song)
 * The "Not Noel Coward Song" from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is another Hurricane of Euphemisms for the same organ.

"The lights are on but nobody's home, my elevator doesn't go to the top I'm not playing with a full deck, I've lost my marbles... I'm a few bricks short of a load but then a full load always hurt my back I flew over the cuckoo's nest and I'm never ever coming back..."
 * sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. The entire song is made of euphemisms.
 * The Barenaked Ladies have some fun with this in the aptly titled "Crazy":


 * Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad" is filled with euphemisms for insanity.

New Media

 * TV Tropes: The opening to the Deus Sex Machina and Band of Brothels articles.
 * And No Periods, Period.
 * Cracked.com's topic page on Jennifer Love Hewitt combines this trope and Stealth Pun throughout.

Stand-up Comedy
""Well, you know what they say about John, anyway." "No I don't. Wh—what do they say?" "Well, you know, apparently he's, uh, he's, you know, he's... [cocks leg] "I'm sorry, what are talking about?" "You knoooow! If I have to spell it out, apparently he's... you know, still picking up twigs in the springtime. [raises eyebrows] Oh yes, one of Yul Brunner's hairdressers. Likes his toast done on three sides, yes." [Now exasperated] "What ARE you talking about?!""
 * Dylan Moran does a brilliant routine in his 'Monster' DVD about how people use stupid euphemisms which there's no hope of guessing, where he enacts this conversation:


 * British stand-up comedian Jasper Carrott has a bit where he goes through an unfeasibly long list of euphemisms for sex, breasts and the penis. It is GENIUS.
 * ... and those are the things you can say on television!!
 * George Carlin had a great bit about this.
 * He uses another one during his famous 7 Words You Can't Say on TV routine.

Theater
""Are you fond of poker, dear? Kindly tell me if so." "Yes, I'm fond of poker, dear...but in the morning, no." "Do you ante up, my dear? Kindly tell me if so." "Yes, I ante up, my dear...but in the morning, no." "Can you fill an inside straight? Kindly tell me if so." "I've filled plenty inside straight...but in the morning, no.""
 * In Fröken Fleggmans mustasch the death of one of the characters is greeted by a series of these by three of the other characters. Each time one of them uses a euphemism for dying the others respond "What?", as if not understanding what it means. In the end another character says "He is dead", to which they all respond "What?!" in great surprise. (The whole thing runs on Rule of Funny.)
 * In the Cole Porter musical Du Barry Was A Lady, Du Barry and Louie have a duet that is literally NOTHING BUT this trope. For verse after verse.


 * Older Than Steam: In The Merchant of Venice, Launcelot Gobbo uses a few unusual euphemisms to imply that his father was unchaste: "...for indeed, my father did something smack, something grow to, he had a kind of taste..."

Video Games
"Oghren: So. With the boss, aye? Alistair: Pardon? Oghren: You and the boss. Rolling your oats. Alistair: I don't know-- Oghren: Polishing the footstones. Alistair: --what you're-- Oghren: Tapping the midnight still, if you will. Alistair: What are you going on about? Oghren: Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat. Alistair: Are you just making these up right now? Oghren: Nope. Been saving 'em."
 * Saints Row itself is practically a Hurricane of Euphemisms for various sex-related subjects, but the most concentrated form is the radio-commercials for Freckle Bitches' (a fast-food chain that combines features of McDonalds and Wendy's), who expounds on their various menus including their large trademark burger, "The Fist", a two-burger menu called "The Twins", and their kiddie-meals, the Funbags, who comes with two jugs of your favorite juices, and a surprise—this week, for the girls, it's a genuine pearl necklace!

The only monster than doesn't fit this theme is The Astronomer, because the Astronomers of the Times of Old were also incredibly egotistical.
