Regional Euphemisms

I overheard a conversation between Giselle and Harrison yesterday that involved Harrison asking "...but what would you do if the Hulk was choking you?". Giselle's answer was a confident, "I'd kick him in the regions".

The "regions".

I hollered across the room and asked her, "Did you just say 'the regions'?"

And she put on a big smile, made this double clicking noise with her tongue and nodded 'yes'.

It did me proud that they've selected such a delightful euphemism for what could be put so much more gruffly.

We got back from a week-long trip to Oklahoma last week. We stayed at a place called the Flying W Guest Ranch. It beat the heck out of staying at a motel. March weather was a huge improvement over the usual summer weather we see.

I've got some pictures that I'll post here as soon as I crop & resize them.
