Funny phrases

I was reminded of a phrase the other day which I also mentioned on a previous thread about funny lines in comedies. The phrase 'Cleveland Steamer' was used in Family guy which I just found hilarious at the time (I've put the youtube link in again below along with the link to the Urban Dictionary's definition for those of you unaware of it's meaning).

Does anyone else have unusual or funny words and/or phrases that bring out a childish chuckle or belly laugh when you hear it. Perhaps there are just certain words that make you release a bit of moisture involuntarily? Share them with the group - and have you checked out the Urban Dictionary for hundreds you may not have heard before - just reading through it gives me a few good laughs (www.urbandictionary.com)

Not sure if it's in the Urban Dictioanry, (work has blocked it) but referring to pleasuring ones self as "Roughing up the Suspect" or "Giving Kojak a high 5" always raises a laugh.

I used to work for a housing developer, designing and managing technical information. One day I was looking at a structural detail on the computer, the sort of thing I would usually ignore as it's a bit boring, but I had zoomed in on a piece of text that said:

'full penetration butt weld'

It refereed to the type of welded joint between two steel members but...

Actually, 'members'. And 'flange'.

With the right emphasis, any of these can raise a smile.

My mind is so warped that pretty much _anything_ can be dirty.

As for funny phrases (changing the thread title BTW), ermmm... I'm going to have to think about that one. Good question!

I work for a distribution company. We have lots of large articulated vehicles reversing on and off of loading bays to be loaded or unloaded. My fave phrase is always " Alright Drive (generic driver nickname), would you like to pull yourself off now we've had your load!"

What a lovely thought ... I don't think.

I'm like Aaron too in that I can see dirty meanings in the most innocent of phrases. Must be something to do with Finbarr Saunders.

Don't forget to check out Roger's Profannisaurus though - although it does go on and on.

Those that ask dont get, those the dont ask dont want.

What the.........
Do we need telepathy to get the biscuit. If we stare at it long enough maybe mummy will realise we are f**king starving here. How do we get around that one. Do we wait untill we are offered. But mummy doesn't know we are waiting on an offer of a biscuit. Maybe we should start eating the rug as a form of hint. Then again maybe when we are lying in hospital all emaciated & shit mummy will say "If she was hungry all she had to do was ask".
