goodness gracious
Well, all, I'm afraid it's time for the obligatory discourse on new nicknames for genetalia. This time it's female genetalia. This time it's "box."
How did I learn that this is a new nickname for female genetalia? Snickers, then the explanation.
WHO THE FUCK CAME UP WITH THIS, AND WHY THE FUCK IS IT CATCHING ON?!?!?!?
Here are two very good reasons why this is stupid:
(1) We already use this word, a lot, and there aren't any other easily substituted words that mean the same thing as this word. "Please hand me my *cardboard container*." "Please put it in *the place where I get my mail*." "I need to get some *carrying units* because I'm moving out of my apartment." "I was looking for your e-mail in my in-*folder* and couldn't find it." This is insanity. I can easily avoid saying the word "pussy." I need not maneuver in order to avoid this word. You know why? Because the basic word in my vocabulary that is attached to feline objects is "cat," and it's used a whole lot more than "pussy" to refer to feline objects. SOME words have the decency to not even mean anything else.
(2) This is like the least sexy word in the English language. "Ooooh, baby, put your *** ****** ****** in my box"? I don't think so. To me, this means drop it in my mailbox and I'll pick it up on Monday. Ouch. "Ooooh, my box is so wet." Oh, man, that sucks! What did you have in there? Is it raining? Did someone open up a fire hydrant outside? Are you moving to a new place? At least "pussy" sounds nice - it has the nice fricative there, as well as the deep-in-the-throat vowel. I won't go into the other ones, but be assured that many of the same principles hold.
What can we do about this? Who do we start a letter campaign to? If we don't buck this tide now, where will it end? "Oh, your stapler is so big and hard!" "God, your purse feels great!"
please stop the insanity.
