In lieu of my two-page, double-spaced paper...
...on Socialization Theory and why a woman has not been elected President of the United States, I present to you a Vocabulary Lesson!!(Pause for applause.)
In the interest of pursuing knowledge, and because of the relative popularity of my first vocabulary lesson, I, an admitted sesquipedalian, feel obligated to enlighten you, fair reader, with new and exciting vocabulary.
WARNING: THIS BLOG POST REFERS TO TERMS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR TO MOST AND MAY BE SOMEWHAT EXPLICIT. PLEASE REMAIN CALM. I WOULD SAY THAT THIS POST WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 OR 18 OR SOME OTHER RANDOM NUMBER, HOWEVER, THAT WOULD BE SAYING THAT THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY IS PORNOGRAPHIC, AND I REFUSE TO DO SO, EVEN IF SAYING SO WOULD MEAN THAT PEOPLE MAY ACTUALLY USE AND READ IT, LEADING TO HIGHER VERBAL INTELLIGENCE AND WHO WANTS THAT?
And now, without further ado, your vocabulary lesson:
Clitorides. Due to the fact that, pathetically, too few seem to be able to find one, I am surprised that this word, the plural, exists. (Be sure to check out the list of ads at the top of the linked dictionary page. Fascinating!)
On a strangely related note, here is a letter to the editor that uses the words phallic and Baptist Church in the same correspondence. Fascinating...
