39 New England Spots That Sound Insanely Dirty But Aren’t

By Ramiro

Admit it, there’s still an immature side of you that laughs at dirty jokes.  Those are meant to be dirty. But you know you also laugh at things that sound dirty but aren’t.

For example, there are so many words that make us chuckle inside. Or if you just don’t give a damn, scream laughing out loud.

Caucus (noun) A meeting of the local members of a political party especially to select delegates to a convention or register preferences for candidates running for office

Coxswain (noun) A person who usually steers a ship’s boat and has charge of its crew

Cockamamie (adjective) Trifling; nearly valueless

Fartlek (noun) An athletic training technique, used especially in running, in which periods of intense effort alternate with periods of less strenuous effort in a continuous workout

Masticate (intransitive verb) To chew (food)

Tittle (noun)  The dot on top of the lowercase letters i and j

Shuttlecock (noun) A projectile used in the game of badminton

I could go on for days, but you get the point. Oh wait, I can’t stop. How about some common phrases that sound dirty but aren’t.

“Beat around the bush”

“Low hanging fruit”

“That’s a mouthful”

“Different strokes for different folks”

“Ride em, cowboy!”

“Knock your socks off”

Ok I’ll really stop this time. See! The immaturity is just leaking out of me.

So join me down here in the gutter as we explore New England in a whole new way. Be sure to share with your like, and dirty-minded, friends.
