What term would they prefer??

[unnamed525.livejournal.com]

I recommend: hoohah, vajayjay, cootch, snatch.

Why there's many tasteful words he could have used: nether-regions, girly parts, lady-garden, and the ever popular hoo-ha. Shame on him for not being more sensitive to the delicate ears of young people.

Hairpie.

furry gates of heaven and blood.

The holy of holies.

One does not need to use a term to express the concept... one should just shudder and look nauseated.

They do take all the romance out of it, don't they?

Raj's socially awkward girlfriend!

I once felt the same way about it; I've gotten over it. It really isn't as bad as it seems at first lol

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

Cavern of forbidden delights?

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I think I'd prefer Happy Town.

Seriously: "vagina" and "penis" are the only words where the euphemisms are even worse.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

One would think that we would be long past this Victorian uneasiness. But maybe there is always some of it around, as every generation is born anew.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Prudes.

[lizcharlene.livejournal.com]

I saw the word "Idaho" two words below "vagina," and it all made sense.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

"Idaho's professional standards..." sounds entirely too funny out loud and out of context, though.

[lizcharlene.livejournal.com]

They have a substantial Mormon population there. I remember going to Walmart, and there was an entire wall of religious Mormon text.

[senshifan.livejournal.com]

Inside Walmart? That's not just substantial; that's overkill.

I just can't imagine a state with such a provocative (and funny) name being so prudish.

When is this shit going to stop? Can we evolve faster or something?

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

You need to re-read your Darwin, Sir or Madame. ;-)

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Would it Godwining if I wanted to up the selection pressure?

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

No, it might be Galtoning. Francis Galton, Darwin's cousin, coined the term "eugenics." Or what your suggesting could be Spencering, after Herbert Spencer who coined the terms "evolution" in reference to his friend Darwin's theory of natural selection (which Charles liked, though he felt it misleading) and "survival of the fittest" (which Charles simply thought inaccurate).

Under Mr. Darwin's actual theory, the Idaho anti-vagina crowd will probably up the selection pressure against the word's champions, given their high birth rate.

A conclusion which is, I wholeheartedly agree, rather sad.

Ha. A priest I knew back in Virginia referred to Mary's vagina during a Christmas liturgy. Traditionalist Catholics in the parish were so NOT amused, and reported him to the conservative bishop of Richmond who immediately suspended him. The priest was also shipped off to Philadelphia for a psychiatric evaluation. Naturally, he passed with flying colors, and considered that report a badge of honor.

[macychick.livejournal.com]

I'm a very liberal Catholic, but I think even I'd be "so not amused" if a priest talked about Mary's vagina during Christmas liturgy. Still, I wouldn't go so far to report him to the bishop or suggest he needed a psychiatric evaluation. I'd probably just send him a note saying that I found it to be in bad taste.

[telemann.livejournal.com]

It was done in the context of a conversation of Mary being a perpetual virgin (which he did not believe in).

[macychick.livejournal.com]

In that case, I wouldn't be offended at all.

[peristaltor.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't he have used the term "Gate of Heaven?"

[hurleyman.livejournal.com]

But, but if we call them vagina's, then we'd have to admit that women are people too!
