I'm reading a book of Nicholson Baker's essay, and in his review of "The Historical Dictonary of American Slang" he says he spent several hours assembling the following matrix:

You	bag!	ball!	bomb!	wad!	wipe!	loaf!
cheese-		x		?	?	?
corn-		x		?	?
dirt-	x	x	x
grease-		x
hose-	x			x	?
jiz-	x			x	x	?
scum-	x	x			x	?
scuzz-	x	x			x	?
sleaze-	x	x	x	x
slime-		x		x

I wonder if he left out some prefixes and postfixes, such as "dork-" and "monkey!", still it was an entertaining table to parse.
