I first heard the term on the ANS committee. "Carnal knowledge" is,
as far as I know, a biblical reference. How could it possibly be rude?
If not a biblical reference, the phrase has been a euphemism in
England for a couple of centuries or more.

The idea of inventing a euphemism for a euphemism is just silly.
