Norwegian Euphamisms
My Norwegian friend Thomas and I were talking about euphamisms regarding the bathroom today, such as "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl" et al., and he informed me of some interesting Norwegian ones, loosely translated into English:
"Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl" = "Calling for the Moose"
Vomitting after a night of heavy drinking = "Talking in the Big White Telephone"
I'll continue to report on this as new euphamisms arise.

I've heard "Calling Bob on the big white telephone" before. In English, obviously.
