That isn't a euphemism, especially not in the context of that thread.

"Euphemism - noun: The substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant"

It isn't even a dysphemism, which is what half the things people think are euphemisms actually are...

Potential entries in Roger's Profanisaurus?

From my big bike ride
" two kittens stole my cheese"

Edit:  I took the OP to mean " things that sound like they should be euphemisms

My personal fave from Rogers is ‘roughing up the prime suspect’

From the Profanisaurus:

"They left her looking like a plasterer's radio".
