What are some funny or sexual sounding words but their meaning is completely serious?

Omlette du fromage

Gesticulate.

It means to gesture.

In sailing, the sentence “if you blow the guy, the pole loses its load” is a totally meaningful sentence with zero sexual meaning.

For reference, the “guy” is a line (rope) that controls the spinnaker pole. When the guy is taut, the pole is under significant load. “Blowing” in sailing parlance is to release quickly, so if you blow the guy, the spinnaker pole is completely released of all its load.

Edit: spelling.

Ever notice how there are some words you’ve only said out loud and have rarely seen in writing?

Shuttlecock.

The thing used to play Badminton

Really No one? Uranus
