Seven Days of Euphemisms

A Euphemism is a word or phrase that describes a thing or event using (hopefully) socially acceptible language.

I'm a big fan of them.

So, in an attempt to start posting again. I am going to put up one a day for a week. Some will be widely known ones, others will be just my own.

The first is one that my ex used.

Tallywhack - Male to Female genital reassignment surgery

We did have some major differences. Life was not often fun. But she did have her funny moments. I like the fact that this is a euphemism of a euphemism (Tallywacker refers the male anatomy itself) and it is an amusing play on words.
