I heard what I think is a new euphemism yesterday and I was wondering if anyone else has heard this before?

I heard two 20-somethings conversing at work, and one used the phrase, "dead-end" as a euphemism for a post-op woman.

That is a new one to me?

Anyone else ever heard THAT one?

Hey there Thundra,

Can't say that I've heard of that one.  Was it used in a derogatory way, as it sounds like it is mean't to be

Ummmm, yeah, based on the hand motions she used to demonstrate to her friend, and the derisive laughing that followed, I would say that, yeah, it was meant to be insulting.

Not to mention that the very phrase, in referring to a "dead end" in regarding a post-op anatomy is probably the most mean-spirited comment I've ever heard used.

Understanding is generally of more value than revenge.

That is a disgusting thing to hear. What do those little girls know about life anyhow.

[edit]Picture and reference deleted.  I know that this was done in jest.   :)  But although there doesn't apear to be a copywrite statement on the web site the picture came from, I don't believe that we should use the picture in this way.  It is obvious that the two girls pictured did not make the statement this topic is referring to. ~ Steph[/edit]
