Uh, anyone thought about that New Age Contemporary musician called ‘Yoni’? From the loks of him, he knew exactly what the name ment before he took it.

I guess you could call him a 'c **t’ and get away with it. Imagine, walking around with a name that means c** t!

Is that New Age Contemporary musician _Yoni_ any relation to _Yanni_?

Does the opposite of “Phallic” have to have something to do with female parts? I ask only because I thought “Non-Phallic” would be a good antonym. Or maybe “Fallwellesque.”

Does anyone else think the guy in these [photo’s](http://www.omino.com/~uvula/yoni.html)looks at all like a younger [Dick Trickle.](http://www.dicktricklefanclub.com/) ?  
Which reminds me of the old punchline: “Never mind strapping that plank on your back, have you seen my horse and cart ?”

Websters:

Yoni:  
: a stylized representation of the female genitalia symbolizing the feminine principle in Hindu cosmology — compare LINGAM.

Lingam:  
: a stylized phallic symbol of the masculine cosmic principle and of the Hindu god Siva — compare YONI

it says yoni is ‘feminine principle’ I don’t see how that’s what you are looking for.
