Bite your tongue (or mine)
Below is a list of words that I have to avoid, because their actual, useful meaning has been morphed by our culture into sexual references, terms and euphemisms, and using them in any context causes half of the people I know to bust out into uninterruptible laughter. They are presented to you in an easy-to-reference bulleted list to prevent confusion:
- tossed salad
- facial
- Brazilian
- come
- coming
- balls
- twinkie
- happy endings
- spanking
- liquor
Also, please add "hijacked" to the list.

i'd like to add bangkok to the list. you'd be surprised how many times you'd legitimately like to say the word bangkok.
additions:
roman
cleveland
gladiator
steamer
helmet
Additional additions:
teabag
blowout
Those are some excellent additions, Diane and Chris, though I think that "blowout" gets greater giggles from The Positions than anyone else.
If you're new to this site (or an occasional visitor) or have blocked it out of your memory (a good idea), Paul's additions will make more sense when you read this.
I want to hear "bangkok" used in a sentence where it is not a proper noun, please.
