Dirty Words at Work
What are words you use at work that have dirty connotations or just sound dirty when you say them?
For example today in my science class we were examining the ability of different materials to conduct thermal energy. I had to explain to the students that we were using rods of different materials to do this. I just kept repeating the word rods and I know some kids (14-15 years old) were getting a kick out of it.
We also do a lot of labs with balls. I have to be very careful with my wording when explaining these labs ensuring I avoid phrases like "big balls", "different sized balls", thankfully I don't have any blue balls in my supplies.
Re: Dirty Words at Work
LOL yea that would be a bad situation!
I work at a movie theatre, and if someone is not at the box office, someone else will yell "BOX!" so they go help the customer.
Well years ago, my manager said that to another employee and a woman in the lobby gave him a dirty look and said, "I know what that means!"
I had no idea until that "box" is slang for your lady bits!
It's the work I do that is dirty, the words are pretty plain.
LOL I have nothing to add to this except I laughed like a 14 yr old while reading it.
Oh wait I do... I cant stand the word moist. That to me just sounds dirty ;-)
I laughed out loud reading this!
My friend can't stand the word moist either so I try to use it whenever I can around her, "This cake is so moist."
I read legitimately dirty things at work everyday. My boss saying "sexual fighting" instead of "sexual assault" was probably one of the funniest things I have ever heard.
P.N.A.S. is a research publication that gets discussed quite frequently in my lab.
Occasionally, someone wises up for the 4 year olds (i.e. the grad students, like myself) in the room and says P, N, A, S.... but usually it's said "P-Nas". Every grad student in the room is looking down, trying so desperately not to make the unfortunate laugh-suppressing snort.
This doesn't have anything to do with dirty words so much, but I work in a medical library in the audiovisual department. We have to view every video that comes in, to make sure it runs properly.
About 8 years ago, one of the psych professors wanted some new videos for her course on sexually related therapy stuff (no idea what the real term is. lol) so we got a BUNCH of basically full-on pron in (I'm talking stuff that is illegal to sell in Oklahoma, if it wasn't being used for "teaching purposes"... full frontal everything, with closeups and penetration!)
At the time, I was not the supervisor, and was only about 25, so my supervisor wouldn't let me watch it. LMAO She was sort of very prude and sat with the little TV/VCR we had for viewing, about an inch from her face, and back in a corner so no one would see what she was watching. lol
After about 10 videos, she just looked at me and said, "I hate to ask, but is there ANY way you could watch the last two? I just can't take it anymore!" LMAO
So, I got to watch Advanced Sexual Techniques Volume 2 and You Can Last Longer: Solutions for Ejaculatory Control. All I can say is that the nubmer of gross old man balls I had to look at that day, have scarred me for life.
Missing our little turkey.

Tisha, ahahahahahahahaha! Oh my gosh!! Well I see gross old man balls basically everyday.
LOL!
I work in a restaurant, so most of what comes out of our mouths out back is dirty. Not innuendo, usually just straight up bad language. But I thought of a few:
"Half -caff" - in reality, it's a half regular half decaf cup of coffee. With us, it's the beginning of an erection (a play off half mast).
"CC & G" - Chelsea Handler calls vaginas "coslapas" (sp?), and she referred to some woman having a "cavernous coslapas." So my friend Emily and I shortened it to CC. Then one night I said, do you want that CC with coke? (Canadian Club whiskey) ..... OH EM GEE!! A CC & GINGER!!! I about lost it.
"Coming in" - we yell coming in and coming out when we're entering or exiting the kitchen. Coming in your mom, or coming in you, is used several times a night.
I'm sure there are more.. I tell the new kids, "It's only sexual harassment if you ask me to stop and I do it again. So everyone gets one shot." (which isn't true, but is funny)

Oh, and small oval plates and large oval plates are small Os and big Os.
And if you get steak, I have to repeat back and describe the temperature - Medium is hot and pink inside. :P
