Would you say “pop my cherry” at work?

Is there more than one meaning to this phrase? I am only aware of the sexual connotation, which is completely inappropriate.

Yes, people use virgin for something they haven't done before and then say popped my cherry once they have done it.

For example: I am a skydiving virgin. Just popped my skydiving cherry. I have heard it used that way a few times (not for skydiving specifically!)

Money shot is just the most expensive shot of a movie. It later became slang in porn. Originally it was not sexual in any way

Ok, but we need to evolve with the times. Anyone under 50 knows what the "money shot" is. Similarly, the older folks need to cut with the, "open the Kimono!" crap that's all to common.

I've been dying to bring up the fact that my boss, a middle aged woman, uses "sausages" as a safe-word at work. She thinks it is perfectly acceptable and appropriate to need a safe-word and for it to be sexually charged in nature.

Why does your boss need a safe word at work?

Just make sure not to remediate these folks by “selling them down the river.”

Ewww. Not work appropriate.

Regardless of origin, the porn definition is the number one definition in dictionaries (urban and regular like Merriam Webster)

I’m 51 I guess that is why I don’t know porn slang.

I know what yeet means bc I have teens but most there did not.

I had to have a talk with an intern a few years ago who said something like “Tim, you’re raping me with these orders!”

I just looked up "yeet" on Urban dictionary and I don't see how your example sentence makes any sense.

According to Urban Dictionary, “yeet” as a verb means: “To make a violent motion of any variety, such as a 'whip,' or any motion that may be associated with violent camera shake or photo blur.” “Yeet” is an all-purpose exclamation that can be used to express joy, disgust, or shade.
