I'd better take enema than...

From enema enthusiast point of view enemas are great. But from everyday point of view it frequently referred as an obviously unpleasant experience.

In a place where i happen to live, a couple of decades ago, a phrase "have an enema" was frequently used as euphemism for "get a scolding from the boss". In the context it sounds something like this: "boss gave me five bucket enema for not preparing papers in time".

So... From this not enema-enthusiastic point of view, finish the phrase "I'd better take enema than...".

Mine:

- I'd better take enema than i'll do school homework.

- I'd better take enema than i'll use a public toilet.

- I'd better take enema than i'll drink bad alcohol on a bad official event.

- I'd better take enema than i'll code in PHP.

I’m always tickled to learn idioms in other languages! The American equivalent of this is sourced from dentistry: “I’d rather have a root canal than ____.”

But, playing along, I too would rather have an enema than drink bad wine at an official function. I’d also rather have an enema than be forced to use bad AI by my corporate overlords, or listen to the 13th guy trying to sell me solar panels.

Slightly off topic, but one of the greatest street insults I’ve ever heard was in London from a guy with a Russian accent. A hapless motorist turning off a street into a driveway nearly hit a pedestrian while she was in the sidewalk. A man who witnessed this brought his hands down hard on the hood of the offending car and yelled, “What do you have, potatoes for eyes?!,” which I instantly loved.

Today's mine.

Sorry, that very IT-specific... But cannot not to write it.

I'd better take gallon of soap+glycerine enema than will update highly customized Gentoo Linux that was not updated for 4 years.

I’d rather have a 4-quart milk and molasses enema than listen to a bloviating orange clown.

And I'd like to be the one to give it to you.

Kate Beckinsale was on a talk show some years ago where she said she’d rather have an enema than watch any of her performances in movies. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the clip online.
