  • In Bonus Stage, upon discovering Craig has slept with Rya:
    Joel: Holy snap. You weren't supposed to... count the sheep with her.
    Phil: You call sex "counting the sheep"?
    Joel: I call everything that. Including people. Sheep.
  • Homestar Runner characters are notorious for made-up swears:
    • In the Show Within a Show Teen Girl Squad, Tompkins often uses the expression "Aw peas!"
    • Strong Bad has used "bulltonk" and "bullhonkey", the latter later being turned into the name of an energy drink (a parody of Red Bull).
    • In the Halloween cartoon "3 Times Halloween Funjob", after Bubs and Coach Z come to the door, their response to one possible candy they might get:
      Bubs: Aww, zagnut!
    • In "A Folky Tale", Coach Z tells Strong Sad to "cram a little oom-pah down your pants" while encouraging him to climb a rope inexplicably suspended in the Field.
      Strong Sad: Look, I'm willing to ignore that "oom-pah down my pants" comment, but I'm more concerned with what that rope is attached to.
    • In the Strong Bad Email "lady fan" Homestar starts referring to his butt as his "tweese" (a shortened form of "buttweesimo"). Marzipan then later calls Strong Bad "a horse's tweese".
    • In "4 branches", after Strong Bad's failed attempt to get Homestar out of the water cooler, Homestar remarks "Sweet genius, that hurt!"
    • "Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene" features "What the pfargtl?!", which is referenced in a mock-trailer for the deleted scenes with the acronym "WTPF."
    • In the DVD commentary for the sbemail "technology", Matt says "parg" when Mike tells him to swear.
    • Strong Bad refers to mistakes as "stnanks" in "do over".
  • The hololive community, especially those most closely following IRyS and Baelz Hakos, have adopted "playing Monopoly" as a euphemism for bedroom funtimes after the former wrote that in as part of their update to the collaborative fanfic Noise Complaint that put the two of them together. It became a problem when, in an entirely unrelated stream, Calliope Mori's mother mentioned that she likes to play the actual board game Monopoly and Calli had to quickly do damage control while the chat went into uproarious laughter.
  • Hoops And Yoyo spout a whole bunch of 'em in an e-card showcasing "words to say when you're mad that aren't bad". While most of them are just nonsense ("Gaah, monkey socks!"), they do have one - "Oh, spit!" - that suspiciously resembles an actual obscenity.
  • Most videos from Most Offensive Video, especially the Charlie Brown ones, feature a staggering amount of creative euphemisms for sexual activity.
  • The Most Popular Girls in School: Brittnay calls her vagina her "growler".
  • J from Murder Drones yells out corporate buzzwords in place of profanity when Uzi stabs her in the leg with her own stinger tail.
    J: FOURTH! QUARTER! PROFITS! MOTHER OF COMPANY LEADERSHIP RETREATS!
  • Pimp Lando has its title character's catchphrase, "What the foo?!?"
  • Except for the first episode of Petera Dzive, called ลกņabisnote , the alcoholic drink that frequently appears in the series is always referred to as "the brew" in subtitles. The bottles of Brew are always labelled dzira, meaning "swill."
  • In RWBY Chibi, Ruby's reading Blake's "Ninjas of Love" book and comes across a centerfold. She opens it up, cheekily looks at it and declares "Now, that's a katana!" It's hard to tell if she actually means a katana or not.
  • Henya the Genius from VShojo refers to sexual intercourse as "pa pa pa" whenever her conversations go into this topic.
  • YouTube Poops are not shy about swearing, but the nature of sentence mixing sometimes results in Unusual Euphemisms.
    • For example:
      Nazeem (while bending down): What an unfortunate disaster it would be if someone were to somehow rip my clothes and ravage the area.
    • There's also this...charming insult from DaThings's The phantom of Oprah:
      The Phantom: You little FEDORA!
