Why does anyone assume the phrase "Nice To Swallow" refers to oral sex?
Would you have made the same assumption if the speaker had been a man?

"How did you enjoy the Dom Perignon, Ms. Bush?"
"It's Nice to swallow."

Also, on the same stoopid subject:  Are there no musicians on this thread?
Come on people, *all* musicians have pet-names for their music, and they are
often comic and sometimes genuinely crude.  But it beats calling everything
by it's *formal* name all the time.  Is Kate different?  Can't *she* have
silly names for her "serious work"?

An example: Jazz composer Hank Levi refers to his composition "Time For A
Change" as "Change for a dime."  Cute, eh?
