This little bit came up out of a conversation about... well, I'm sure you can guess. I blame the evil bunnies. Some euphemisms just crack me up, I admit it- (the sandwiches song for example) and others make me wonder why they're even used.

Drabble 54
Duo squinted at the lock- by closing one eye, he managed to bring it into focus. Carefully he inserted the key into the lock and pushed the door open. Before he could step across the threshold, Heero put his arm in the way.
"Boots," he said and Duo blinked at him. He checked his feet.
"I have them on," he tried and Heero shook his head at him.
"No. We have to..." Heero rubbed at his bloodshot eyes as he searched for the word, "knock them. Before we go in."
"Knock our boots?" Duo frowned. "Look, Heero, I'm glad you think you have the stamina to do that at the moment, but really? I mean- firstly- we're on the front porch and secondly-I think I'd fall asleep before we got anywhere."
Heero blinked at him for a moment before dissolving into what Duo chose to call 'chuckles' as 'giggles' wasn't very manly.

"Not another word," he warned Heero as his roommate closed and locked the door behind him. "I'm exhausted- I wasn't thinking-"
"Too bad," Heero laughed as he headed towards his room. "I was looking forward to knocking boots with you when we were rested."
Tossing himself down on his bed, Duo wondered which sort Heero had been talking about. Ah hell....
