A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

«
Nobody talks much that does n’t say unwise things, — things he did not mean to say; as no person plays much without striking a false note sometimes. Talk, to me, is only spading up the ground for crops of thought. I can’t answer for what will turn up.

I just noticed the word "diplomatic" kind of resembles "do blow my dick". (Say it fast, while pretending to sneeze, kinda thing.)

Example:

"Our justice system can't touch that, that political asshole from that despotic country even though he got drunk and ran down a kid. He's got doblowmydick iniquity. Errr, impunity. No, wait, immunity. Whatever."
