Vocabularistic Embiggenment

It's random thoughts on stuff time again! Whee!

It's always so delightful to come across people who agree with me that, despite the fact that both German and English possess a plethora of euphemisms et alia to describe genitals, they all right-out suck ass the bad way.

Whether it's the "vagina - pussy - cunt" trifecta of English or the "Vagina - Muschi - Möse - Fotze" group of German, it's either too clinical, too childish, or too frowned-upon-to-use-regularly, despite the fact that I'm rather partial to the more direct ones myself.

Same goes for "penis - dick - cock" and "Penis - Schwanz", although it's (rather interestingly!) much more acceptable to use the cruder terms here.

my thoughts on..., ponderings
