Hilarious euphemisms that YOU use! Suffering from ads?

I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about when I say "Auntie's visiting", or that I'm "having the painters in", or maybe even just "having my period".

But this expression takes the cake:

"Fallen to the Communists".



Many thanks to Dr Benway for this euphemism.

Post away with your own amusing euphemisms here!

Well, the euphemisms I've heard about 'that' subject in finland (actually crappy and rather free translations to english):

-"muddy weather" or "bad weather"
-"regular maintenance"
-...

okay, it's now obvious, that those aren't very funny. Well, at least I tried...

For the starting topic: "the red week"

Others:

Vomiting: "pray to the porcelain god"

Take a dump: "strangle a negro". For obvious reasons I never use this one myself, and to be honest I have no clue about its origins
