The Muskoxen

Within the next week or two, there's a roughly 50% chance that I will have a daughter. To that end, Val and I were discussing the need for a new word to take the place of vagina.

Basically, vagina is a crappy word. It's not surprise because it is, after all, a medical term. It probably meant "bucket" or something in Latin, and now we're stuck with it. (Author's note: I just looked it up, and it actually means sheath or scabbard in Latin... you know... because it fits on our "swords"... So, it's basically like a bad, 3000 year old joke).

The thing is that, while penises got nicknames for every occasion, vaginas went straight from medical to dirty (cunt, twat, pussy), confusing (box, cooter), intentionally gross and silly (camel toe, hatchet wound), or those stupid variants of other terms (vag, vagine, cunnie, vajayjay, etc.).
