s/o codewords -- "unclog the toilet"

[niq]

IHO Brie (sorry!), do you and your spouse have a codeword for when one of you wants to get down to business?

I'll start, ours is "pick out clothes for the dry cleaner". Except sometimes it just sails by unnoticed. Derp.

[caramia17]

We just say, "Later?"

[thecatinthehat]

Following because we don't and we NEED this! DH is also not the most discreet and will blurt out "Do you think we have time later?" in the middle of Target. Geez!

[GotWine]

When we are with other people, including DD we refer to it as " the taxes" as in " We should probably work on the taxes tonight." or " The accountant called. She mentioned something about the taxes." If one of us isn't in the mood we can ask to file an extension.   The only time we don't use this code phrase is when we are with my sister. She is our actual accountant and would catch on. 

[bearbaby]

Lol - was it really "unclog the toilet" Brie? I thought it was like "fix the plumbing" or something.

If you and your DH are able to be in the mood while code-discussing a clogged toilet, then I doff my hat to you, good lady.

Not usually. If we're just being silly, we say "Tico-Tico no Fubá," something we picked up from one of our Portuguese teachers. I don't even know if it really means "getting it on" in Brazilian slang, does it, @natariru? 

The only thing I found on line was this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tico-Tico_no_Fub%C3%A1

[cjeanette]

Most of these gross me out.

H will ask me if I want to play. Which 99.9% of the times ends up in me telling him no.

[kategm]

"pancakes" is our code word. It stems from when we were dating. I honestly do not remember how it started.

Lmao at "sparrow in the cornmeal "

We usually say " wanna play?" Or " let's snuggle"

When the dogs are doing their thing, we refer to it as piggy back rides to DD. Our dogs LOVE to give each other piggy back rides.

It was "fix the toilet."

The origin is that I was up in our bedroom, and put on something sexy and wanted to surprise him, and I kept being like, "can you come up here?" and he was all "ehhh I'm watching TV" so finally I was just like "I NEED YOU TO FIX THE TOILET IT'S BROKEN" so he would come up.

Once he realized what was happening he was like, "THAT is what you came up with?"

[stretchad]

Hokey pokey is the phrase which isn't all that subtle so it's only in private. I don't think that will last much longer, with DS around now.

Well I posted about mine the other day. It started when I read something (maybe on TB?) about how bow chicka wow wow sounds like brown chicken brown cow. And then we started saying things like "visit the chickens and cows" and eventually it became "visit the barnyard".

We'd probably never use it in public - just in email/text. If we were in public I would waggle my eyebrows at H. Lol.

You guys need to own this book

[mainelyfoolish]

I can't remember how this originated, but ours was "bake a cake" which was later shortened to just "have some cake." Like, maybe later we should have some cake. It's not all that useful a phrase when the kids are around because then they think there is an actual cake somewhere in the house!

This would not work for us either, because when my sister was 2 she infamously announced to our bachelor uncle that she needed a second piece of cake and that since she was so full from her first piece of cake, she was going to put this one in her vagina.

Therefore, "cake" will always have all sorts of innuendos to me lol

[thejen626]

We just say "do you want to go DO IT?" Or DH's clever "would you like me to make you a cocktail" lol...

My friend's DH says "I'm feeling froggy" lol

[pierogigirl]

We have no code words. But DH thinks we do. If I make direct eye contact or walk upstairs he thinks it's time to knock boots.

Oh lordy.  H has said the cocktail line before.

That guy is so cheesy.

[fortmyersbride]

It's not code to each other, but when we set the kids up with a movie and sneak off to our room we tell the kids we're "going to go fold laundry". If they ever figure it out I imagine they will forever be disturbed when doing their own laundry

To each other i just ask DH if he would like to go to the bedroom, or he asks me if I want a massage.

[cricketwife]

We do not have enough sex to warrant code words  (wilted)

[AmyRI]

Excitement. It's from the book Angela's Ashes (or the sequel that I can't remember the name of now).

this is where we are too. DH will tell me he's feeling frisky, but that's about it

[holly116]

We refer to the sheets being changed. So if I said I changed the sheets today, DH would assume it's on. There's a story.

[t]

"Do things that are good" or "make moves"...we are clever.

[waterchurch]

Mostly were pretty blunt when it's just us, and we don't bring it up in public.
The closest we have would be the phrase "free time activities." A few months into dating I went back Midwest with him to attend a camp that he grew up going to with his family and friends. People were asking him what we had in common or what we liked to do (kind of an unlikely couple, I suppose) and he got all flustered and answered something about free time activities. I was mortified thinking what people could read into that if they tried.

[noodleskooze]

When we were teens, we used to say we were"going to Starbucks" and go park. haha We still say it as a joke sometimes.

[spanikopita]

We call it coloring.

[ECB]

If we're really seriously telling one another that we've got to poo, it's usually "I'll be back in a few", or "See you soon" kind of w/ a wink. Just knowing it might be a coulpe minutes.

Jokingly, DH says "gotta drop the kids off at the pool".

You caught that this thread was about code words for sex, right?
