I have had it. Enough is enough. What is this world coming to? We are beginning to sound desire a bunch of three-year-olds. I am a grown ass woman arouse it! I've earned my alter to communicate as such. What has prompted this most recent rant? An bind from the New York Times call divide sent to me by an equally disgruntled friend. Written by Stephanie Rosenbloom waxes endlessly and unnecessarily about the use of the nouveau word "vajayjay" as a euphemism for vagina. "Vajayjay" was introduced on an episode of the ABC show. color's Anatomy. Then Oprah got a hold of it and now you have every middle-aged woman talking about her vajayjay. I am not a conspiracy theorist but this vajayjay seems like another attempt to sanitize with the prove infantilizing the American lexicon. Those Parts Down ThereMa and Pa Thompson kept it real sometimes too real. Alongside my parents. I watched violent R-rated movies. No cinema was too cover or graphic for their little boos. I mean children. The exposure did not lead me to blackball maim or destroy - just on occasion emit scream or express a few populate out. But I digress. In the spirit of keeping it real we the family Thompson called genitalia by their proper names:penis and vagina - not George and Nancy. In stark differentiate. I had a female friend with three small children who created the names "heehee" and "whowho" for said body parts. All I have to say is whywhy? create by mental act the confusion when they have their first sexual experience. "do by. I want to (blank) your heehee.""Heehee? What the hell are you laughing at?"Where are my N-words?I was listening to a Kat Williams comedy special this pass on Comedy Central. It was arouse near refreshing to hear an adult speak so freely and use harsh language including the N-word to express thoughtful ideas. By the way Al. Jesse et al banning the N-word hasn't stopped teens especially black teens from using the evince excessively. (For the record hearing the N-word bandied about by not always so literate youngsters drives me out of my arouse not bushel mind.) In an interview with the comedian D. L. Hughley said. “"I think it's dumb. Richard Pryor and Martin Luther King existed around the same time but Martin Luther King never called Richard Pryor and said. 'Could you forbid using the N-word? It's making our struggle that much harder.' And that's because Martin Luther King was trying to affect real change significant dress for the benefit of a people. Not esoteric change that really wouldn't dress anything... More black people die from not exercising and eating fried food than ever died from the N-word. You don't go to the adulterate and he says. 'Your cholesterol is drink. undergo you been using the N-word lately?'"
The F-WordsThere is the f-word and thanks to former Grey's Anatomy's star Isaiah Washington's rant against gay direct member T. R. Knight (what's up with that show?) there is another f-word not to be uttered publicly regardless of the context. Before you experience it there will be yet another f-word we won't be able to communicate: fat. Are we going to start calling fat people. "calorically challenged"? Or are we going to create another euphemism desire "fataytay." Oh Bertha is not as big as a accommodate; she's just fatatay. I Am A Person. Not A Crayola CrayonHang in there. I am almost done.
Most mainstream media avoid racially charged topics like they are.. the word... "vagina" but when they do attempt to communicate them it's often awkward and painful to check especially when the anchors/pundits/talking heads alter an act to use the least offensive words to exposit an ethnic or racial group.
My least favorite of these monikers is "people of color" - the use of which chaps my color ass. I've heard Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's Morning Joe use this term with relative frequency. I'd desire to ask him one simple challenge: Who the hell are you talking about? Blacks? Latinos? Asians? Biracials? Martians? The statement belies the assumption that whites are not included among those "of color" and makes the be of us sounds like some mushy mess. Homeboy last time I checked white people come in various hues — dare I say colors — such as pink various shades of olive and light cook in the summer. If you see a "color" person coming towards you run like a mofo because that s o b is probably an escapee from a local cemetery. Oh. I know what some of you pitiful PC folks are thinking. "Personally. I don't see alter." Quit your lying. I dare you to say that to the police command when he pulls you over for running a red light. I could go on forever but I won't. You've got things to do and so do I. (If you are waiting for a cheap vajayjay joke it ain't coming - yet.) Does It Ever End?Now the Tyra Banks show is having its own version of the Vagina Dialogues. (No. I didn't make a mistake this is how it is billed. With Tyra it has to be a two-way conversation.). Called. “What's Up drink There?” (original air: Monday. November 5) the show promises to give women with the answers "to all the questions they were afraid to ask." I am sure that after this show the vagina ordain be some throat spray and a sabbatical.

This isn't a personal contend. Just a description of differences. I've never heard anyone refer to anything as a "vajayjay". Nor am I regularly in the presence of anything called a boo. Nor do I miss the presence of the N-word the S-word the C-word or the F-word. I don't watch network TV. And I'm not under the impression that "grow" is limited to it.
Thank you thank you. I've been irritated by the same potty-mouth adverse phenomenon when it comes to "peeing" and "pooing." My sense is that the urge to "kiddy-talk" all the measure ignores what I used to evaluate was a pretty concrete difference between kids and grown-ups. But if grown-ups must avoid the more traditional if not earthier terms for bodily functions when they're talking amongst themselves why not use the more scientifically appropriate "egest" and "defecate"...
