[MIMK-292] The room you can’t leave unless you cum. Miyu Aizawa, Rika Tsubaki

You were really on the ball to be able to spot that euphemism and use the word correctly in a parenthetical that displays your erudition. And to answer your parenthetical question, it was probably more an abstraction than, say, a litote or a minced oaths or . . . whatever the other kinds of euphemisms are.

So.

Would Chuck Berry have had a hit, if instead of singing “My Ding-a-Ling, he sang “My (one of those vulgar or anatomical non-eupemisms you used) ” or “My שמאָק?”

Would Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” have been a hit if he’d used short anatomically non-euphemistic lyrics like “שטופּן?”

Would Madonna have had the same success with “Get Into The Groove” if she’d sung “Get Into The まんこ” also written “Get Into The マンコ”

No, they wouldn’t have. Madonna knew, in her brilliance,that euphemisms are a girl’s best friend. Other euphemism users, likewise.

BTW, read that the term euphemism itself was used as a euphemism by the ancient Greeks, with the meaning “to keep a holy silence” (speaking well by not speaking at all). Not sure about that. May need to be walked through it.
