TennHippie: I’m passing familiar with the term “nookie”. I think it has a kinda nice ring to it.
Oh yeah, don’t forget “quif”(sp?).
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
I have to say it’s never bothered me as an insult. It’s about as offensive as “Oh, yeah?” or “Yo’ Momma!” Mostly it betrays a lack of creativity, like men use it as a last resort when they can’t come up with an actual reason to be mad at you or something. What always gets MY goat is when guys respond to any criticism or anger with “what are you? On the rag?” That is so infuriating! As if we’re behiving like lunatics or something and you’d get away with idiotic behavior the rest of the month where we “know our place” or whatever.
oh, and “hoo-hoo?” ROTFL! That made my day!
On Australian TV the other week, on a cool show called Good News Week, one of the people on the show, a woman, said this:
“It seems a shame that one of the harshest insults you can make towards someone is a word that refers to such a beautiful and important part of the female anatomy”
And I couldn’t help but agree. I like the word as a sexual reference - but not as an insult.
“Vyvyan! Where did you get that Howitzer?” “…I found it.”

As I stated in a different thread, I just don’t have it in me to get all worked up over the word cunt, or any of the other words mentioned here.
As an insult, it’s pretty useless to call me bitch, cunt, slut, whore, etc. Maybe I’m just desensitized to those words, but if someone is trying to get to me they’ll have to do better than that.
This isn’t to say I’m going to use any of those words in a job interview, or even loudly in public, but if a friend says it I’m neither shocked nor offended.
I don’t think calling a woman a cunt is any worse than calling a man a dick. It’s not pleasant, but it’s still better than a getting raked across the eye with a rusty fishook. 
What are we to make of the “hoochie-coochie man”?
I noticed that several members of the female persuasion (well, let’s call them cunts for the purposes of this thread) seem to object rather vigorously to the term “pussy”. I find that a bit odd, given the image of softness, gentleness it evokes in my mind. Why is this?
- Reminds me of an old “guy’s” joke: what’s the worst kind of whore there is? -the kind you can’t afford. - MC
Yeah!! Coochie!! Coochie-coochie-coo!!
Hey, I just remembered, though, terms like “Vertical Axe Wound” & “gash” are, to me, infintely more offensive than “cunt”. I HATE HATE HATE thinking of the happiest part of my body as a wound. I think men who use those terms (I have never ever met a woman who did) have serious issues.

To clarify, I do not USE those words. I KNOW them, and figured this would be a nice place to show this.
As for issues, well, that’s between me and my hairstylist…

- There may not be any real reasoning, but what is the origin of the term “camel toes”? “Camel lips” I can understand, but “camel toes” I, uh, just don’t see. (Then again, I’ve never closely inspected a real camel’s toes. Am I missing something really good?) - MC

OK, I’m risking my innocent image here (Shaddup, Sue!), but I’ll answer your question, MC.
The next time you see a woman wearing a tight bikini bottom, or tight underwear, or tight anything over the crotch area (tight enough to outline the ahem lips), take a good look at the profile from directly in front, and think of what a camel’s toes look like.
Junior high. Ain’t it great?
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
I think I am bugged by the term cunt…it’s not that it’s an awful sounding word or anything, and when I hear brits or modern women use it casually it doesn’t bother me, but otherwise when it comes into conversation it is intended as a nasty insult, and generally understood and much stronger then bitch. As an insult it seems to be used by men at their most misogynistic moments, and that’s what it implies to me. In addition, I can’t think of an insult applied to men relating to genitals that has as much cultural force. Dickhead is something you could say in mixed company and no one would gasp. I think it’s the sense of hate that goes with the word cunt, if used in the right way (like nigger or faggot, I suppose). It’s not that it “means” genitals; what it means is something completely different-- an intention or emotion really. I think if someone I was not close to said “you fucking cunt!” to me, I’d have to kick their ass.
I believe it was Carlene Carter who said,“I’m here to put the cunt back into country!”.
I liked that, cause of its Go Girl attitude, much needed in the country music scene of the 80’s. But the word itself, just yuk… too much like grunt. However it got that way, it has too much negative baggage to enjoy.
My faves are: yoni (India), twat, peachfish (Tom Robbins), and lily. TennHippie’s quim stirs the gravy, too.
I just heard the term “camel toes” recently, but from what I understand, it’s when a woman wears really, really tight pants so they…ride up in the front so as to part the labia. I guess that’s the best description without being too graphic. Give it some thought and I think you’ll get it.
Okay everyone, so I missed page 2, whadda ya gonna do about it, eh?
