5. Just thought of another one

Open, Happy Waitress. I see that item listed on diner menus all the time!

28. I second that.
It sounds like...

Jesus, I can't even express the idea in a clean way. Hmm.

The French Open (Tennis)
It just sounds dirty.

4. I always have a good laugh at the flaming pu pu platter thing
makes me giggle everytime. Greasadick is Greisidieck I believe, or something close to it, you have the phonics version. It's a family name, they used to brew beer here in St Louis.

6. Fiddle
We were at my brother and sister in law's house last night and playing this type of board game (I can't remember the name) where you quickly had to guess the word based on clues from your team members. Anyway, my husband passed along a word to me that I had to make my teammates guess and it was "fiddle". Well, of course, with my slightly warped mind, I started giving clues like "play with something" or "play with a little thing" because it was all I could think of at the moment. Meanwhile, I was blushing and trying not to look as bad as I think. Anyway, I finally had a revelation and said "violin; country music" and my teammates guessed, but "fiddle" got me into a bit of trouble last night.

8. I wouldn't have gotten that in a million years
without the violin reference. I'm not really sure what you think is dirty sounding about it. Excepting for some off-beat references on a really old Who album, I'm drawing a blank on it.

13. Oh man
I so don't want to go here (as I no longer want to be seen as being flirty in any way here due to a variety of factors) but the best way I can describe it is in relation to "fiddle" as describing stimulation to a very small, but sensitive part of the female anatomy. Hope that makes sense.

14. Umm, yeah.
I'm not sure what would be 'flirty' about this.

Maybe it's an east coast/west coast thing. I've been around the block a few times, I'm just saying fiddle doesn't strike me as dirty. It doesn't strike me as implying anything dirty. Other than a reference to an old pedophile in a "Tommy" song, I've never even heard it used in a sexual context and sexuality is not the first thing that would come to my mind if someone said 'fiddle.'

I've heard sordid reference that would immediately come to mind in the phrase "Hey diddle diddle." But not 'fiddle.'

9. A soul named Jordan Wankoff is a fiddle teacher
at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. He seems to have emerged from high school psychologically intact. I have no idea how.

11. Could be that his schoolmates didn't know what "wank" meant.

After all, it's a British slang term, not American. I had never heard it myself until well into the '80s.

32. But if you miss the exit for Intercourse, PA, you could end up in....
Bird-in-Hand Pennsylvania.

Or you could take a detour and go through, and yes it's the name of a town, Virginville, PA

18. My neighbor gave me a "Wonder Weiner" for Christmas. Comment
This is a little phallic party favor/toy thing made of rubber, filled with saline solution, and made so when you grab it the rubber skin circulates and the Weiner slips out of your grasp.

My question is, is this not OBVIOUSLY suggestive? Anyone?

19. Kumho Tires
I'm sure they don't pronounce it that way, but I can't think of a more unfortunate name. It even beats the kid in my high school named Lipschitz.

21. Kumho
Locally, their radio commercials have a background audio that sounds like a woman being pleasured. Weird stuff.

26. How do they pronounce the name?
I've never heard their radio ad, but there's a Kumho depot just off the Turnpike in Streetsboro, Ohoho.

If they're doing that in their ad they must be playing on the name. Then again, a promise of new tires always was the quickest way to get me in the sack. Oooooh baby, give me the steel belted ones, ooooooooooooo....

23. Simplicity. (let me explain)
I was watching a commercial the other day while I was half asleep and I thought I heard something I didn't hear.

It was a commercial for some phone company or something. Different people were making statements like "I want convenience." "I want peace of mind." "I want no hassels."

And then I heard...

"I want simplicity."

Well... that's not what I THOUGHT I heard, and I about fell out of my chair laughing... :)

30. When I went to Sturgis for the first time in '88...
once we had gotten fairly well "up north" into Iowa and South Dakota, we were all amazed at the roadside signs advertising everything as being "ho made"...there were ho made doughnuts, ho made breakfasts, lunchs, and dinners.

To someone from south of the Mason-Dixon line, it had a "ho" different meaning. We were wondering if they kept truck stop lot lizards busy cooking in between johns or something.
