News of the Weird - mom seduces son she gave up...

[hadespussercats]

I read that she was banned from speaking on the floor for two days for her use of the "V" word.

I was just reading about that today. Apparently the speaker thought the word was so offensive he wouldn't "say it in front of a woman."

Unbelievable.

That's what's really offensive, his disgust for the word. As a woman, you have to have certain amount of self-loathing if you supported this action on the part of the house speaker.

And yet, you used a euphemism rather than spelling "vagina" out, yourself. I noticed no one else has spelled it out in this thread either.

Would you be as surprised if someone were sanctioned for using "penis" in a similar way? Personally I think it's silly, but lots of people feel uncomfortable using explicit wording to refer to "private parts".

Vagina.

Incidentally, and this is off-topic, but I wish more people understood the difference between a vagina and a vulva.

Incidentally, and back on-topic, my guess is Mai called it the V-word because she was making a sardonic reference to "Vagina" being a dirty word.

But I could be wrong.

Vagina.

My vagina has two sets of lips..

[mistermack]

I can't say "breasts".
I don't know why. They have always been tits to me. Boobies, if I'm being polite.
Except for when I say "breast cancer" for some reason.

I suppose "tit cancer" would sound odd.

I always associate "tit" with "nipple" (teat) and "boob" with "breast". And I hardly ever use anything other than "breast" and "nipple" when referring to them. And then, only when I'm wearing a lab coat and holding a clipboard.

Will the doctor see me now?

In Britain, the slang for breasts was always "Bristols". Which was rhyming slang.
Bristols = Bristol Cities = Titties

So tits and titties go way back.

Oh yes, I don't deny it. Just my personal preference. :labcoat:

With animals, I always thought that tits were the whole thing, and teats were the nipples.

I don't think that many people said breasts before the fifties. Maybe doctors.
Before then the polite words were bosoms and cleavage. And tits and knockers were for everyday use.

I can't imaging builders on the scaffolding shouting "show us yer breasts" at women below.
Maybe they do.

You know, your chi-chis, your mamas...

Boobies! The girls. Ta-tas. Sweater puppies. Knockers...

...

[Jason]

sweater cows, milk duds..

[hadespussercats]

oompah-loompas, funbags, breastisses, lovely lady lumps...

Are you talking about ... tracts of land?

That's what's really offensive, his disgust for the word. As a woman, you have to have certain amount of self-loathing if you supported this action on the part of the house speaker.

And yet, you used a euphemism rather than spelling "vagina" out, yourself. I noticed no one else has spelled it out in this thread either.

Would you be as surprised if someone were sanctioned for using "penis" in a similar way? Personally I think it's silly, but lots of people feel uncomfortable using explicit wording to refer to "private parts".

That was sarcasm...I guess it didn't come across. And yes, I would be surprised - what are they supposed to call them, vajayjays and peepees?

I call mine "Colossus."

Yes, absolutely. The vulva does not receive nearly enough attention. Like most men, I ignore most everything else and tend to concentrate almost exclusively on the clitoris. The labia are unsung heroes in the female anatomical world, by the way.
