I don’t know where to put this, but it regards the next Harry Potter movie, so I’ll start with Cafe Society. I guess it can get thrown in the Pit if pubic hair is considered obscene, or General Questions since I’m asking one.
New photos from the next movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire were posted yesterday on The Leaky Cauldron and mirrored at Mugglenet.
I’ve been wasting my time reading various Comments sections and web site chats of people discussing the stills. One thing I keep seeing over and over again, in regards to this picture of the second task, the champions getting ready to dive into the lake (with unfinished special effects), is that Fleur, the girl on the right, has a “cameltoe.” What the heck are they talking about?
Ok, I’m not a total idiot. I know it has something to do with the fact that European girls have (gasp!) pubic hair and these mostly American 13 year olds are too immature to grasp that fact. Yes, it’s obvious she has bush. But where the hell did the word “cameltoe” come into it? Camels, their toes, and European pubic hair. Does not compute.
It’s not about pubic hair. I guess I need to look at more pictures of camel’s feet, 'cuz I don’t see the connection, but it’s more like “I can see the outline of her vulva through her underwear.”
Um… it’s not pubic hair. It’s her girly bits. When pressed against tight pants, they can look like the toe of a cloven-hoofed animal, for instance a camel.
If you want to learn more about camel toe, just visit your local library! Or do a search on the boards; there have been threads about it earlier.
It has nothing to do with pubic hair. Camels have two large toes with a prominent cleft in between. In this context the term “camel toe” refers to the cleft that is visible when a girl wears a too-tight swimsuit.
Ah, well, I guess I was a total idiot. That’s not quite as immature as a cute stupid name for pubic hair, which, come to think of it, I realize no one has mentioned now that I know what they’re really talking about, but it only adds on a couple of years.
Hunh. That doesn’t really warrant the term “cameltoe” to me; you can see a vague outline but there’s no, um, separation. Which is the degree of extremity I associate with the word.
They’re not just for girls, though that’s where you’ll see them more often these days. Back in the 80s when tight pants were more the style, for example. Anywhere men wear tight pants (I don’t know what it is about rodeos), you’ll have the ‘pleasure’ of spotting a few.
I heard it at least fifteen or twenty years ago and since everybody seemed to know what the guy was talking about, I’m guessing it had been around for a good while before.
Why do people want us to think that real people are like Barbie and are completly smooth under our clothes?
But, my God, look at Harry and the guy next to him!
I was a little uncomfortable with the idea of a “Hey, let’s all check out the Harry Potter chick’s Camel Toe!” Thread*, but according to imdb she’s 23 so I feel slightly less creepy about it.
*Yes, I know that wasn’t the intention of the OP but to illustratively answer the OP does involve attention to that particular detail of the linked photo (totally work safe in case you’re scared).
Here’s a picture of actual camel feet. Now, perhaps some of us have better imaginations than others, but I can easily see how the figurative camel toe resembles the literal camel toe. And, yes, the girl in the picture does have a bit of camel toe going on.
I’ve posted this before, but being my favorite Camel Toe story, it bears repeating:
My SIL was in gym class a few years back when one of the girls hobbled up to the coach and asked if she could hit the bench for a little while. When the coach questioned her about it, she said it was because she “had a camel toe”.
The coach looked at her oddly. “A camel toe?”, he asked. “Yes!”, said the girl, “I have a camel toe!”
“Fine”, said the coach, and the girl took a seat on the bench.
It was two or three minutes before the girl jumped up and started yelling at the coach…
“Charlie horse!! I meant I have a charlie horse!!!”
