You’re almost eight years too late. See post 28.
Do the French have a word for that?
Oh, and as regards vaginas, English also has a word specifically for a vagina that a baby is coming out of: “Birth canal”.
Not to be confused with “Love Canal” which also has a topical meaning in the USA.
Maybe you need some friends with a sense of humour?
The French can be wordy and poetic, even when it’s not called for. “Les papillons d’amour” for example.
Because offal [internal organs and other bits that are not wanted by well to do people] sells - and if one lives in the ‘slums’ and doesn’t have much in the way of money, one buys what one can afford - in this case organ meats.
Who knew, turkish haggis?!
I hadn’t noticed that this was a zombie thread until I came to my response, which I don’t remember making.
I wonder if there is a Japanese word for that.

Cerveauuuuuuuuuuux. [sub] Or so says Google Translate.[/sub]
A lot of this is exaggerated for effect. Take for example:
Is that so unusual? Horses have been an important companion, transportation, and work animal to humans for thousands of years.
How many English words are there for horses, besides the basic horse:
By sex: mare, stallion, stud, gelding, spay.
By age: foal, weaning, yearling.
By age & sex: filly, colt.
By breed temperament: warmblood, coldblood, hotblood.
By ancestry: sire, dam.
By reproduction: Maiden, (term for a stallion that has not bred, which I can’t remember).
By size: mini, pony, cob, draft.
By gait: pacer, trotter, ambler.
By bloodline: purebred, crossbred, mixedbreed, grade.
Obsolete terms: charger, courser, palfrey, rouncey.
That’s nearly 30, and no doubt I’m missing some. And this is without even going into the 40-50 different breeds of horses. So it doesn’t seem so strange for Argentinian gauchos to have a lot of terms, too.
