What Did You Call It? (NYT)
Oct 27th, 2007 by Viviane
THIS is the story of how a silly-sounding word reached the ear of a powerful television producer, and in only seconds of air time, expanded the vocabularies — for better or worse — of legions of women.
It began on Feb. 12, 2006, when viewers of the ABC series “Grey’s Anatomy” heard the character Miranda Bailey, a pregnant doctor who had gone into labor, admonish a male intern, “Stop looking at my vajayjay.”
I couldn’t agree more with Steinem. I hope this isn’t just another word to avoid the awkwardness of saying vagina. Once again we get a silly name too. Hoo-Hoo and kitty. Now Vajayjay? Men give their members strong names like Cock and Dick and Johnson. I’m going to start calling mine my Hillary.
Just sayin’.
