  2. zinks says:

    My book of Gray’s Anatomy in Dental School never had this listed!! LOL

  3. animalntaz says:

    They should get rid of that word. It’s VAGINA, you PUSSIES!

  4. CheVolay says:

    Has a girlfriend ever told you her pet name for her Vajayjay. We all know guys have special name for their own penis. :oops:

  5. CheVolay says:

    Pootang – the drink of naughty astronauts :shock:

    The Nerd Word link at the top of the page has
    it’s own :cool: colorful way of making itself known. :lol:

    Cool virtual tour of Hearst Castle Link to Hearst Castle Look in upper right under New Virtual Tour, click Castle Tour.

    Remember Vee Jay Records, one ‘jay’ short of a hoo hoo :roll:

    • CheVolay says:

      FYI – You can say vagina on TV, I heard it last night on The New Adventures of Old Christine this word was used about three times in five minutes.

      • Bob says:

        So why wouldn’t it be acceptable to use the word “vagina”? It’s the accepted anatomical and medical word for that part of the female anatomy that males are reputed to think about dozens of times a day.
        It’s a very sick society when people are so up-tight that they can’t bring themselves to talk about things, even using the “professional” terminology.

        Now here are two real nerd words for you:-
        A promiscuous man = a vagibond.
        A cunniliguist = a vagitarian.

    Looks like I checked out the nerd word of the day on the right day. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed the feature if you had selected another word. I guess it did it’s job. It definitely got my attention. That’s one of my all-time favorite topics. This ranks up there with the pusilanimous video. Who is Perez Hilton? Do you mean Paris Hilton, or am I just completely out of touch and have no idea how to spell a spoiled brat’s name? :smile: :roll:

  10. BillyB says:

    I have a young friend, who’s name is Peter Dick. Do you not think he was made fun of at school. He has grown up into a fine, even tempered young man, level headed & ultra cool. Nobody that knows him thinks anything derogatory about him & his name is thought of with honour… because of his character. He is athletic & vibrant, dependable & a thinker. Willing to go it on his own, or be a good team player & lead when called to do so & if anybody should happen to make fun of him because of his name, (he could easily rip their head off, litteraly or with his words). He chooses to ignore the imaturity & treats them as if they hadn’ta even said nothin’. Many choose to take offence, at times, if they feel somebody is too close to touching their insecurities though.
    Thought of the Nascar great, Dick Trickle, hearing what I’m sure he heard growing up. Yet even today , his name is respected amongst those who know & have known him.
    Vijay Singh comes to mind with this post, because of the sound of his name, but knowing what he has done & won & the respect he has earned, his name transcends any assosciation with the nerd word of the day… except that it sounds a little similar.
    I was brought up in a such a time, that it has been difficult for me to say or even write the word Vagina… as a matter of fact that may have been my first time. Don’t expect I’ll ever use today’s word tho… oh well my loss.
    I need a cigarette now 8^)

    .

    When the internet had just come out (IE vs Netscape 1.0 wars, no internet ads etc.), a young (late teens?) Canadian girl created a web-site to document, in great detail, her explorations of her vagina. I looked briefly at the site in preparation to make this comment; one big change is that even though I knew of the origin of this site, I can no longer determine the origin of the site by briefly browsing the site — it now appears to be a collection of writings by many people and has badly placed ads — it is no longer one girl’s very personal document about her detailed explorations of herself offered as her gift to the world.

    A few years after the girl came out with her site, some guy created a counter-part site; there might be a link to it from the above site, I don’t really know or care.

    Did anyone even imagine that such a site would exist, and that one would find out about it while visiting HFW? :smile: :cool:

      Oops! Ran out of time to make a correction: … it is no longer one girl’s very personal document about her detailed explorations of herself offered as her gift to the world those who cared to know.

  13. This reminds me of Cartman telling Kenny he had to call his penis a “fireman”.

    “No, Kenny!”

  14. muggins says:

    Why can’t people just grow up and say the word, for heaven’s sake? Va…., er uh… va-a…..vvvvuhhhhh.

    Well, shoot. Anyhow, I was shocked not too long ago when I read one of Olivia Munn’s posts, or some such, on her website and the dialog used the term vag. I chuckled. I forget the exact context, but the phrase went, “Nice vag.” Probably referring to some starlet climbing from her sports car with the paparazzi clicking away. It’s such a natural nickname, vag yet I’d never heard it before. Not too fond of vajayjay. Too cutsy. Whatever works. Vagina is a weird-ass sounding word.

    • bsomebody says:

      I’m with ya on that one. :roll:
      We call it a peep, hooch, twinkie, jiney, monkey, beaver, hoo-hoo, bearded clam, or even “that special place,” anything but a va… er, vagiiiii… :oops:

    • It’s censors who make a beef over these things for if it’s left up to weirdos to decide what goes where, when, how and what they may find erotic symbolism in the word “chair” and then suddenly no mention of the word “stool” in the vernacular. Like the other night I was watching some horribly boring show about detectives and the censors dubbed out the word “ass” and replaced it with “tail”. I laughed my tail off! If these censors knew they were doing me a favor they’d surely have been pis, er, teed off.

    What’s next in this area of word play?… Boenoener or Bononer?

    Like… Oprah says, ” My Vajajay should could use a decent Bononer!” :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

  17. John says:

    Marina, this word category has created controversy beyond what is expected, I for one don’t object to the title. but perhaps another category could be “Nerd Word Nominee of the Day/Week”

  18. :mrgreen: Yes, Vajayjay. Oprah gets called on that, and certain men periodically cry out and demand for equal time as the meme stretches the gaff or vise versa. The term LOLPRAH having been introduced, also, and then someone even went and put that to music:

  19. PageDoll says:

    Marina,
    You know what would be extra cool?
    Is if mmm say, every three days you made a very short, raw and uncut vid of you telling us whats going on with you in your world at that particular time. You know, just to share a little something with your loyal student body here on your site. Maybe right after you get up and are drinking your morning tea or on the way out for a nice dinner. It could be called something like, A Minute With Marina or The Marina Minute. :smile:
    For site use only, of course. :cool:
    Uncut, Unrehearsed, no effects, on a semi-personal level = Very extra Cool. :mrgreen:

  20. Vajayjay – rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?

  21. neuroway says:

    I like the sound of it. Vajayjay. Vajayjay. I think I will use this one outside of the nerd word of the day context.

  22. CheVolay says:

    vjayjay should not be confuse with vj day, Victory over Japan Day, only Rhode Island commemorates this holiday, so you need to work in RI to get the day off.

    { You’ll thank me if your ever in the Cash Cab }

  23. obfuskation says:

    Marina has pointed out that these are words that are spouting into usage, and that she is against them becoming a part of normal use.

    Personally, I like this section. It serves as a reminder that language is always evolving. I think what is causing a lot of the friction, is that some of the words brought up also highlight the cheapening of our culture. Words like “vajayjay” and “bitchassness” are just symptoms of pop culture’s tendency to dumb down and coarsen.

    On the other hand, I think words like “locavore” have potential. Each of us has the option to use what we believe has quality.

    • bsomebody says:

      Personally, I hope “locavore” makes it into public usage. I have high hopes for more-localized economy (says the guy who buys stock in Wal-Mart :roll: ) I also believe that smaller, more local farms are more likely to provide high-quality food with less pesticides, preservatives, and other gunky additives.
      As for the other words, I am glad Lady M brought them to my attention. 1) I will know what my high school students are discussing. 2) I will have a ready-made response for those who choose to overly colloqialize the language.
      {WTF is colloqialize, anyway? :???: }

      • leoNard says:

        Do you drink coffee? [local]-weedsports for gardens and fairs :oops:

        • bsomebody says:

          Yes, I do drink coffee, and I will most likely continue get it from a distant source. I am not a zealot. I can, however, get tomatoes, green beans, peas, potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, etc. either from local farmers or home-grown. I can also choose to buy cars made more locally, furniture made in the area, but that is another topic. Locavorism rocks! :cool:

  24. bsomebody says:

    On one of the House episodes, a doctor referred to a patient’s “hoo-hoo,” probably for the same reason. Incorporating slang into a censored format can be difficult, so let’s just invent a new word.
    I like the idea that TV has some degree of regulation. Parents still need to monitor what their children watch, but with TV ratings, we have some type of help to guide us.

    :idea: I have a suggestion that might help with the Nerd Word of the Day. Quite a few people seem to be very unhappy with this format, yet others seem to appreciate a lighter addendum to the other posts. Perhaps those people who do not like the NWOD can simply make their comments on the other posts. Let’s try limiting the comments on the NWOD to the people who want to be here. Your silence will speak volumes.

  25. John says:

    Some day some woman will probably want to use this word for one of her children’s name.

  26. CheVolay says:

    How would I use this word in a sentence, ummmm…

    While was sitting in the surf a big wave swoosh beach sand into little Mary’s vajayjay.

    • BillyB says:

      This is the V P I find a little more interesting… the “Sky Diamonds” channel is kinda like the laundry room (work area) of her creative mind. Would like to see some, more dramatic, stuff from her rather than just pandering to the number crunchers & kidz.

  27. John says:

    “Initially popularized by Oprah, Jimmy Kimmel, Tyra Banks and Perez Hilton”. I always thought it was popular a really long ways back in history.

  28. CheVolay says:

    Marina, The comments in this new section are representative of you changing the formula of Coca Cola.

    You may not have been in the country at that time, so Google it or ask someone about this fiasco.

    Peace

  29. John says:

    Marina,
    …This is a good word for stirring the pot, here on your website, this is like looking for misogyny. A sort of “Searching for Bobby Fischer” (movie) move akin to a chess move maybe?

  30. This segment should be titled, “Dumbass Word o’ Day” (or DWOD for short).
    :mad:

    • leoNard says:

      Like bitchassness, now dumb-cunt… :???: :cool: I know that the indigenous peoples of North America, considers “squaw” the word for vagina and thinks that it, is rude ‘nouning’ :roll: [CONSONANCE]…con.so.nan.tal…twat-twitter

  31. Hs4Mm says:

    I think this is the sort of word a slovenly, self-loathing, man(male)-hating woman would use as she forces her disgusting, miserable self upon decent people.

  32. WITH A NAME LIKE THAT I WOULDN’T KNOW WHETHER TO SCRATCH IT OR RUN!!! :grin:

  33. James says:

    hmmm. How is vajayjay a nerd word? But I had wondered where it came from.

  34. leoNard says:

    Crazy and fun…everybody…lets play with our selves …with words. :wink: see you end-c-u-n

  35. Hs4Mm says:

    A question assuming people who come here are knowledgeable about twitter: If A sends a tweet to @B, and, some significant time later, A deletes the tweet, will B’s copy still remain? Or does the delete propagate to B’s copy?

  36. Hs4Mm says:

    Since nerd word of the day is the place to high-light, to put it mildly, silliness in today’s culture: I suppose people know about the NBA player who got into trouble for tweeting during a game against the Celtics. Earlier today, John Madden commented on this; his comments are not earth-shattering, but if you are curious, they occur at about 7:10 in the mp3 file to be found for today’s Daily Madden podcast at kcbs.com -> audio tab -> Daily Madden.

  37. Vanilla works just fine. :mrgreen:
    French vanilla is even better than plain vanilla.
    This vajayjay word is just baby talky, isn’t it? :roll:
    So, your nerd words are for people watching Oprah??
    (This whole segment is sucking big ass chunks, y’know?)
    Is Jimmy Kimmel still blowing up like a party ballon? :grin:
    I already know Tyra and Oprah are…
    Who is Perez Hilton??
    Is this segment the Obamafication* of HFW?
    (*change for the worse leading to disaster)
    I notice you’re are still dodging the Diddy bullet…
    WHY was that something you found “funny”???
    (your silence speaks volumes…)

  38. Hs4Mm says:

    There really shouldn’t be any obscenity laws — it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children hear and see only what they as their parents consider appropriate. Also, the sound va-jj is so un-attractive!

    • If words hadn’t been held hostage to begin with there wouldn’t have been any gripes and instead of v-chips being implanted into the soft membrained shelled skulls of children to block out so-called inappropriate words there would be in it’s place some common sense rather than some perverted mandate of ideoilllogical supernaturalism about how words get worded.

  39. seesixcm6 says:

    There are other slang words for that: pussy, beaver, (not that I know very many of them), so I wonder why there was any need for another slang word for that?
