I caught crap for having this on a sign in my lab way back when.

"Doing a good job around here is like pissing in your wetsuit. You get a nice warm feeling all over but noone else notices"



Oooh, that reminds me of one of my favorites. (Thank you, Judge Judy.)

I also like "fang hag", which describes any female goth with a particularly tragic vampire fixation...

Happy as a pig in shit.

And, a recent tv car insurance commercial about Karl the lion and two antelopes:

Happier than two antelopes with night vision goggles!

Post your favorite euphemism(s), cliches, metaphors or similes.

I'll begin...

"a stitch in time saves nine"


My overly legalized brain first read this as "a switch in time that saved nine." That, of course, is a reference to the Supreme Court and the time that justices switched their votes to begin upholding FDR's New Deal legislation after FDR threatened his court-packing plan. SCOTUS switched, FDR was happy, and we stayed with 9 justices.


I thought this was actually a lot more practical. I thought it meant if your hem has a few loose stitches, take care of them before the job gets a lot bigger.
