Euphemism Check

From last night's drive home from OVFF:

What would it mean if I said "I'm dropping a note to Mr. Adams"?

That you picked up a hitchhiker because he had his towel?

[billroper]

Well, that could be, but not what we had in mind.

[archangelbeth]

Gomez Addams, Revolutionary figure, or author?

[billroper]

The first has an extra "d", so must be disqualified. :)

[madfilkentist]

My first thought was Scott, though that could be because the post just above yours had a Dilbert userpic.

[billroper]

There could certainly be valid reasons for doing that, but not what we had in mind.

It would mean that you're filling his gas tank with sugar.

[billroper]

Now that's an interesting one. What's the reference, as I don't think I'm familiar with it?

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

I just made it up.

I really think it means that you sent him a short letter, or perhaps an e-mail.

Absolutely no idea.

You're stealing one of Adam English's themes? And changing keys so it's singable?

[billroper]

Well, that would be interesting...

Fileing / re-fileing your taxes??

[billroper]

Oh, not even close. :)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

There is someone you need to alert to the fact that they are obnoxious and disliked?

[billroper]

Ooh! Very, very close. :)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

There is someone you need to tell that you absolutely cannot send him the saltpetre he requested until he sends you pins?

[billroper]

Saltpetre might be useful for dealing with the situation, yes, but perhaps not in the way that Mr. Adams had intended to use it...
