"Arkansas toothpick"
for a geographical anti-euphemism: "Mississippi River mud"
"Washington DC, that unique combination of Northern graciousness and Southern
efficiency" (alternate: "Canada offers American manners, French efficiency,
and English cooking")
a little far-fetched but "wienie" meaning "penis"
"Swiss cheese" referring to the results of a gun battle
"Bluegrass treatment" referring to the old Bluegrass Hospital for treating
narcotics addicts
