I learned tonight that among a circle of friends I have, "to go to Baltimore" is a euphemism meaning "to deflower."

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

Well, there is a new accent of n00b language. It's called: Vet LUEser goes Foreign!-MegaSpy22

I don't approve of glossing a euphemism with a euphemism.

"…the USA is like Microsoft—whatever they decide to use, no matter how brain-dead it is, everyone else copies it from them, willingly or otherwise."
So are you "going to Baltimore" tomorrow (and if so... why?) or are you just going to Baltimore?
I ask exactly the opposite: are you going to Baltimore (and if so, why?), or are you just having sex with a virgin?

"…the USA is like Microsoft—whatever they decide to use, no matter how brain-dead it is, everyone else copies it from them, willingly or otherwise."
I don't see how that's the opposite... putting quotes around it clearly indicates that I'm asking whether he's going in the sense of the euphemism that he's already explained.
While we're both interested in the question of what he means, we're opposite insofar as you want to ask "Why?" only if he means "going to Baltimore" in the euphemistic sense, whereas I want to ask "Why?" only if he means "going to Baltimore" in the literal sense.

I'm physically in Baltimore.

Well, that's probably the least exciting answer we could've gotten...

Physically, eh? (nudge nudge)
