If she is anything like my mom it was either whakadu or whikkiwhacki. Strange bird that one.

Isn’t the answer to this question gender specific? 😕

As a male my first reaction was: Is she standing or lying down?

🆒 [sup]If standing you say “Lay down”[/sup]

I haven’t been to a civilian gym in a long time, but I’d certainly be naked in the locker room, for God’s sake. That’s what it’s there for. I wouldn’t be happy about women bringing their sons in–I’m pretty sure they’re not supposed to be in there, but what do I know.

I wish women had a whole lot less misplaced modesty. Everyone’d get in and out of the public toilet stalls a lot faster if they’d unbutton, -tuck, -hook, etc. before they go into the stall and redo everything after they come out.

As for seeing a woman’s vulva when she’s naked in the locker room, grow up. Sheesh. Or should she leave it at home?

It doesn’t thrill me either, but when you’ve got little boys and they need to answer the call of nature, you can’t just send them to the men’s room. But that’s not an issue at 5 in the morning - at least not so far.

This situation happened to me once- only I was the little boy that was dragged in the women’s locker room because I was with mom and aunts. It was, without a doubt, one of the most mortifying moments I ever had. Having to change in front of so many strange naked women was so embarassing it overpowered any interest in looking at them (and yes I was a very curious little 5 year old)

“I like your outfit,” is the classic response.

Are middle aged vulvas all that different looking than vulvas in their 20s? Yeah, their surroundings have sagged and the hair may have grey, but do the vulvas actually age all that badly?

Vulvas, they’re boxy, but good.

No wait…I think that was Volvos.

I really don’t have anything coherent to contribute. Carry on.

Here in Japan, 99% of the hot-springs are meant to be utilised in the buff (mostly men and women are segregated). So Japanese women have no problem being naked in front of other women.

Until you go to a gym. Then they will do all the towel contortions in order to get dressed without showing skin.

I can’t understand it at all. I just let it all hang out.

Whew - I narrowly escaped another encounter this morning. I was just gathering all my stuff together and as I opened the curtain to leave, another woman was standing there, waiting to get in. As soon as I passed her, she went in and pulled the curtain closed. Dodged that bullet, boy howdy… :rolleyes:

Dang, I was beaten to the punch, although I think it’s more of a pirate accent than an Irish accent.

Eonwe-  
Yeah, that might be true, but we have an Irish pub around here that does that song all the time, so I only hear it in the “Steve Carroll and the Bograts” accent.  
BTW, wasn’t there a similarly named thread a few months ago? Seems like I got beaten to the same punch somewhat recently!

That’s all well and good, but I do NOT however suggest you,

“Kick 'er in tha belly 'til she pukes 'er guts out,  
Kick 'er in tha belly 'til she pukes 'er guts out,  
Kick 'er in tha belly 'til she pukes ‘er guts out,  
Ear-lie in tha mornin’”

NOR do you,

“Catch it inna bucket, an’ make ‘er drink it,  
Catch it inna bucket, an’ make ‘er drink it,  
Catch it inna bucket, an’ make ‘er drink it,  
Ear-lie in tha mornin’”

My husband tells (and pantomimes) the funniest stories about the locker room at our former fitness center…

Like the one about the guy who liked to lay his sausage on the counter whilst drying his hair. All over his body.

And the other one about how so many men like to put one foot on a bench and proceed to perform the testicle-drying dance.

El Hubbo is hilarious, mostly because he imitates their facial expressions. Like they’re saying to themselves, “Damn, you’re lucky to be seeing this!”

Featuring Karil Daniels as “Girl who has not been raped.”

That’s got to look strange on your actor’s resumé.
