If I say, "I'm the kind of person who says, 'this is my third cup of coffee, and the bladder is still intact'."
Will people know what I mean? I think they're going to stare at me for what you refer to as a 'whoopsie' of a second, raise their eyebrows to that cynical arch (or do that thing with shoulders that's just incomprehensible), and leave. But do they understand?
Of course they do. In the very, very bottom, undifferentiated part of being, they do. And this is the only way you can express yourself (come up with your own ingenous, slightly indecent phrase, of course), because adjectives are no longer in fashion. They're not enough...and as a form of expression, strangely, not expressive enough.
