43. Exploring the solarium rift.
It was on an episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Kess, the little blonde that goes out with the dorky cook on the ship (his name escapes me now, but he's a dork), is of some race that only lives 8-9 years, but the ship stumbles upon an array of people from her planet and she meets one of her own kind that was actually 14 years old and showing no signs of dying yet. As you would expect, he was a charming-yet-evil type. Anyway, one day my girlfriend and I are kind of half-watching this episode while reading the paper when Kess tells the captain that she and Mr. Charm want some time away from the ship to "explore the solarium rift," and we both started cracking up.

It's been at least three months since we've used any other euphemism for "the act."
