AM I WRONG?

Several times a week I take a nice long walk with my cuz and my doggy nephew. He’s really my cousin too, but I like being Aunt Karen. So it’s been decided. Strolling the neighborhood, our conversations take many different paths. We reflect on the profound and ponder the meaningful and then easily segue into frivolous (reality tv). Let’s get real – our back-and-forth focus of attention often end up in the infantile. Soap Radio. (which deserves an explanation for another time).

ANYWHO…

Per a recent chit chat we came to the conclusion that the inherent fun-ness when voicing a word is more about its sound than what the word means. Take for example anatomically correct language… which I’ve decided is quite unfair when examining and comparing the FUN quotient.

Contrasting those said private parts, the terminology for one set of genitalia is zingy and poppy while I find the other to be downright clinical. #notsofun.

It’s the ‘pop’ of the ‘P’ that has a shrug your shoulder-tilt your head lilt to it… a lively cadence. The opposite can be said for the ‘V’ word. Am I right? It’s soooo Debbie Downer. Set side by side: PEE-NIS (joyful lilt) vs vagina (melancholic monotone). You know I am right.

Words that begin with P just bring a smile to your face –

PETUNIA

   POOP

       PERSNICKETY

PLOTZ

POOBAH

POPPYCOCK

   PIPSQUEAK

PICKLE

While ‘V’ might be a mysterious letter or even alluring (vampire, virus, vixen) –  it ain’t FUN! I implore you to name a fun word  that starts with that letter. GO.

Even the supposedly friendlier versions of one’s private parts are slanted in the direction of Mr. Winky. There’s ding dong (fun-loving), pee-pee (delightful), weenie (gleeful), package (joyful), baby maker (heartwarming). Even testicle is not so bad. But except for the sprightly cha-cha I can’t even begin to type the multitudes of awful names for ones va-jay-jay. AWFUL.

I will however admit that scrotum is not an amusing word. But balls? Quite good natured.

Vulva is what I would call a queasy word. Say it and you’ll notice the throaty dip as you pronounce ‘vul’. And labia? Sounds quite overwrought to me, which makes sense cause when those lips are overworked… you get the idea. I will admit that clitoris (is it kli–tr-uhs or kli-tor-uhs) has a bit of a zing to it. So that’s one for us.

On another note, boobs or boobies are quite fun to say! Or as my grandma used to say, “your little titalas”.

All things considered, we did take-a-frown-and-turn-it-upside-down by claiming the off-color ‘pussy’ term as our pink-hatted rally cry. Hear us roar….

That’s all for now penis-breath.
