During the week the story of a State Legislator who used the word 'vagina' in a lively debate about the changing abortion laws in Michigan and was subsequently banned from ever speaking on the house floor again, was brought to my attention. I have no desire to get into the politics behind this decision nor the issues surrounding it - this hardly seems like the appropriate forum to do so, but it did get me thinking about an age old niggle of mine.
There are just no widely accepted words for the love purse. While we are all happy to wax lyrical about male genitalia in all its semantic alter-egos, we do not afford such courtesy to the smoothest of all otter's pockets. If anatomically correct medical terminology can render such a dramatic response, what alternatives are open to the linguistically acrobatic?
May I suggest some of the following:-
- Lady Garden
- Muff
- Foof
- Axe Wound
- Smashed Pasty
- Mimsy
- Hermetically Sealed Shame Basket (This may be my new favourite phrase)
- Love Cave
- Beef Curtains
- Piss Flaps
- Spouse Hole
- Honey Pot
- Cunt (yeah I went there - I'm taking it back - what of it?)
Help me out here people.
and now for....
'The Pixie's Word of the Moment'
Machiavellian (adj)
Definition: Pertaining to the political methodology of Machiavelli - using subtle cunning and deceit in order to further one's own purpose.
Example: One would be wise not to underestimate the Machiavellian nature of the common horse - it is only a matter of time before the revolution begins... be prepared people, be prepared.
I thank you
