How do you say you had sex? Do you tell your friends you banged her? She might say you made love.
There is an infinite number of ways to say “having sex†without actually saying… “having sex.â€
With as many euphemisms as there are for sex, it seems as if we have no better way to be creative. Yes, and some of the euphemisms are very creative.
Here’s a list of 165 favorites.

Thanks to Ashton B for submitting this. It sounds like we came close to our very own school shooting at UC Davis.
Apparently the term “terrorist threat” is not the legal term used in California. It’s actually referred to as a “criminal threat.” Channel 10 used the inaccurate term simply to excite the public, which seems somewhat irresponsible in my opinion.

Thanks to Kyle from UC Davis for submitting this interesting site. From an initial glance, I have to say I have more respect for short-term predictions than those predicting events a hundred years from now but perhaps I’m being unfair. Nostrodamus made many far-reaching predictions but also many of them were verified in his lifetime, which would strengthen his credibility if it’s true. The idea behind this site is great though. One, for example, predicts that by a certain year, 50% of students wilI have taken a class on how to avoid a robot attack!
