One of my friends decided today that the Jolie-Pitt baby might be the anti-Christ.

They will name their Babies Mike, Sarah, Chris, Jason and Lisa, if only to shock their parents. [Big Grin]

Sarah Jolie-Pitt-Holmes-Cruise? Ouch. Her life work will be to open a branch office of Scientology in Nigeria. [Eek!]

Do you remember the Moore-Willis daughters? Rumer (quite appropriate for a Hollywood kid [Big Grin] ), Scout, Tallullah. They're already teens. Or even twens? Bruce and Demi were pioneers in giving strange, no, excentric names, weren't they? At least, as long as we don't mention celebrities with Hippie parents. River, Leaf (a.k.a. Joaquin) and Rain/Rainbow Phoenix.

I've worked for 12 years in a major call-center. I've come across some really strange names that weren't given by celebrity parents.

How about:

Danson Myaskoff
Able Hooker
Frank Weiner
Euana Bunch
Franklin Beans
Imogene Washer
Peter Cock (a bit redundant, no? As if he could get away unteased with either one alone.)
Ilene Left

And my personal favorite - Harry Quatch.

He must've loved his job! I remember being traumatized as a 12-year-old when my dad mentioned to me that he worked with a guy named Dick Seeman.

I was at a trade show and one of the vendors there had a nametag that said "Peter Handler". One would think that he'd at least have gone by "Pete".

Befor scanning through this thread this morning, I had never heard "Peter" used as a euphamism for penis.

Well, I won't ask for a poll, but I'm fairly certain you're in the minority. [Wink]

Oh, and my dentist in Va Beach was Dr. Will B. Payne. Seriously.

I am convinced that every word in the dictionary is, or will be, an euphamism for genatalia or some sex act.

Heh! He said "dictionary"!

But seriously, I've been familiar with the term "peter" as a euphamism for "penis" since...oh, I don't know, probably late grade school or so. Other names that are euphamisms for "penis" that I'm familiar with include "willy" and "percy".

You know, in thinking about it, I'm realizing that while I know a good number of food words that double as euphamisms for female sex organs (primary and secondary both), I can only think of a few food words that do the same for male sex organs.

I don't think it's so common that it's the first thing people think about. I mean, John is also a euphemism for toilet and for a male patron of a prostitute, but no one snickers every time someone says their name is John.

Also "johnson," although that's more of a last name as well as somewhat anachronistic.

I think there are quite a few, but they seem to be rather limited in type -- i.e., varieties of meat-related words.

Edited to add: and no, I really can't bring myself to list them here, although it underwent serious consideration. Good taste prevailed, thankfully.

So to speak.

Thinks to self . . . "banana", "cannoli", "pickle", "zuchini", "nuts", "grapes", "cherries", well there's definitely a theme there, but it has nothing to do with meat.

Ah. See, I could list several dozen in the meat-related theme. However, I concede that there is also room for vegetarians and lovers of Italian pastries. *grin

(I will also concede that you are probably more well-versed than I in this area, KarlEd, having that particular advantage of the dual perspective. Darn it. *shakes fist

... and as far as I know, that one isn't, BTW. Is it?)

----

Ahem. I mean, I wasn't referring to that -- which I am aware of -- but to that. If the term for that included that, wouldn't it invite confusion?

And am I inviting editing by our beloved Moose?

(Er, "Moose"? "Camel," certainly, as per certain ads, but "Moose" seems a bit ... antlerish.)

See edit above.

And let's not discuss any of it any further. I am decidedly less cocksure about my knowledge of the language in this area than I was when we started.

See, I agree that all of those could be used[/url] as euphamisms, but except for "pickle" and "nuts" they aren't generally words that I would say [i]are euphamisms. Does that make sense? I think that my original point has been refuted, though, by those two examples and by Sara's unnamed cylindrical meat products.

Noemon, I've heard all of them spoken in film, TV, and in casual conversation.

But I'll drop this particular line of conversation before I get myself banned.

Thinking along these lines, my last name, which is Bates, got me quite a bit of teasing when I was younger.

When I started work as an engineer, one of the technicians thought it was a pretty funny joke. He didn't find it so funny when he found himself scheduled to do muck probes the next week.

Really? huh. I guess I just haven't heard as many euphamisms as I'd thought.

Are we really butting up against the line in this thread? I mean, there's a lot of "tee-hee"ing, but really we're just talking about language.

It continues to amuse me that so many people still find the use of "penis" and "vagina" or even "vulva," "clitoris" or "testicles" to be offensive, but certain cute euphemisms are A-OK.

Do you have a national holiday today, or what?

This morning, I checked the forum for new posts, because most of you write at 4 in the morning (for you: between 7 and ten p.m.). And now it's between 1 and 4 p.m.! Nothing to do in the office? [Wink]

You all at Hatrack, and I'm not sleeping! I'll mark this day in my calendar.

That's why they are euphemisms, and not... uhmm... what's the opposite of "euphemism"?

Thank you, Noemon, for the thoughtful clear attribution. It's exactly what I wanted to be remembered for.

[Wink]

(I hesitate to point this out, but not all are explicitly cylindrical. (link is to UrbanDictionary.com, and though there are no pictures, the words aren't really worksafe) And I'd like to emphasize that my familiarity with such things is solely due to my exhaustive vocabulary and voracious reading skillz regarding work matters.

Seriously.)

Can pictures be euphemisms, too? Then this is an euphemism for a bat.

Well, it's worth noting that I put both terms together myself--mal- for the Latin version and caco- for the Greek. It'd probably be better to go with the greek, since the stem being modified is Greek in origin too.
