IE1 "Wide Stance"

Illuminated Euphemism 1

From Urban Dictionary

Wide Stance: A euphemism for a homosexual, especially one who is closeted. [Or in the case of Sen. Craig - water closeted]

This was coined after the transparent defense by Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), to charges of disorderly conduct, stemming from his apparent solicitation of an undercover officer, underneath the partition of a restroom stall.

Prior to pleading guilty, Sen. Craig attempted to explain his behavior by claiming that his shoe touched the officer's underneath the partition because he had a "wide stance", when going to the bathroom.
