vagina

the ugliness is really the ugliness of what modern English pronunciation does to the simple sound system of Latin. say it in a Spanish accent--instantly prettier

there's no shame, bilbers; WeirdNet is on your side. your uncle probably had some kind of tube lined with epithelial cells, right?

It's not a great sounding word. When I was young I used to get it confused with, ahem, another word. I remember some grand family gathering - my grandmother had a large house and loved to entertain - where most of the crowd were sat around after a big lunch. I was out in the back garden with my great-uncle, who I knew had a heart condition. I thought he looked a bit peaky, so while he sat down to rest I ran back into the house and blurted out that 'he might need his vagina pills'. The roar of laughter still rings in my ears.

I don't know. Vajayjay is pretty hated by some also.

vagina envy...?

on a separate note, why is this word on so many hate lists?

Well, that's odd. I know plenty of people who have them and pay for their drinks.

Vaginas: You either have one, or pay for your drinks.

They're both far more appealing than testicle or scrotum.

Not to be conflated with vulva.

Ludicrous word. Not appealing.

I found this incredible quotation today.

And, I love this comic and quote it frequently when among comfortable company (i.e. not at work lunches). (See also dignified. Thanks, lampbane!)
