OK, it's not Tuesday any more (except in a couple time zones well west of here), but I'm gonna toss up the latest Wizbang Midweek Contest. This week, we're looking for the dirtiest-sounding words or phrases that are really utterly innocent. And as is my wont, I'm gonna toss out a few examples to steal away some of the better entries:
Kumquat
Angina
Touchhole/Bunghole
Penal System
Cold Enough To Freeze The Balls Off A Brass Monkey
Shooting Your Wad
Remember, it's gotta SOUND dirty, but it can't actually BE dirty or have a raunchy origin. And winners oughta be (notice I don't say "will") announced Thursday evening.

I'll throw in:
Balls to the wall.
Meaning to go all out. The origin of which is arguably in either aeronautics or railroad when throttles had ball shaped heads and to go full speed meant pushing the throttle as far forward as it would go...that is against the walls.

For "fun-sounding words, how about:
petcock
thespian
asinine
goober
Shiite
dicker
blowhole
A few things got unfortunate names, like the test for scarlet fever named for its inventors: the Dick test.
We can't forget that some of the words counted as "dirty" now weren't a century ago. "Faggot" used to mean a bundle of sticks, and "thongs" were a type of shoes (now bearing the infinitely inferior moniker, "flip-flops")
There are a couple of words in the Bible I've always liked, like the ever-popular construction
product "shittim wood."
The PC-Police over at the DMV wouldn't let my brother get a vanity plate with "Kraut" on it, even though that's his last name.
And we can't forget the hullabaloo over the proper use of the word "niggardly."
But my favorite, of course has to be:

When my 13 year old daughter was 7, she and I were having a conversation about getting a kitten.
She became so excited, she went into the utility closet, grabbed a broom, and began marching around the house thrusting the broom up and down and shouting "PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY, CAT CAT CAT."
After I recovered from the pepsi blowing out my nose from laughing so hard, I finally calmed down enough to tell my wife about it. Ever since, it's been a private joke between my wife and I.

I request your forbearance to let me tell a little story in this vein.
Back when I was in the Navy and stationed at the National Security Agency, the standard practice was to put a placard by each door with the name of the most senior person inside (lotsa desks, and maybe a few private offices were to be found if you went through a door).
"Next door" to our Navy office was an office where The Big Man was named Dick Shaker. My friend Eric managed to control himself for many, many months, but one day, he could control himself no longer. He took a piece of paper, wrote the word "Official" on it, and stuck it in front of Dick Shaker's name.
The next day, the placard was changed to "Dr. Richard Shaker."
True story. Or as we say in the Navy, "this is no shit..."
