    Just an interesting fact, one which you may already know: “Pussy” in this context is said to be short for “pussilanimous,” a word meaning (among other things) “lacking courage.” (I learned this part from a very classic episode of The Simpsons!) Supposedly it is not meant to refer to any part of anyone’s anatomy. If accurate, it is a much more apt use of the word.

      Fuck I totally forgot about that episode! Maybe we should do away with calling that anatomy “pussy” then. Seems like the femmes have been taking back “cunt”, at least in my circles, so maybe there’s hope there
