Regarding masturbation, I don't like "whacking off" or "jerking off" as when one is called a jerk/whack-off it is an insult. (Hence the British 'wanker')
Also, I dislike "put to rest/sleep" when killing animals or talking about dead people. It scared me as a child when one came up to me and said my Aunt was sleeping, as I hoped she would wake up.
Also, I dislike euphemisms all together. Especially when schoolkids say "Ooh, Satan lives in H-E- double hockey sticks!" I remember that from my youth..never liked it.
Some I think that are funny is post-traumatic stress disorder, aka shell shock.
Speaking of euphemisms, listen to George Carlin's routine.."Euphemism"..it's funny.
