Euphemism (Orbit Gum Dirt Mouth Test #37 Commercial)
A woman bursts into an office holding a box. She scowlingly says to her husband: "You son of a biscuit-eating bulldog."
Husband: What the French toast
Wife: Did you think I wouldn't find out about your little doo doo head cootie queen?
Mistress: Who are you calling a cootie queen? You lint-licker!
Wife: Pickle you kumquat!
Husband: You're overreacting.
Wife: No, Bill, overreacting was when I put your convertible into a wood chipper, Stinky McStinkface!
Mistress: You Hoboken.
All three of them start fighting, but because they were all chewing Orbit gum, none used dirty language.
The Orbit spokeswoman is off to the side and says, "Fabulous! New Orbit Raspberry Mint cleans another dirty mouth."
