I sometimes come across a bumper stickers that gave me pause. One is a rainbow sticker proudly proclaiming, "I EAT BOX!" For those unfamiliar, it means the car owner enjoys cunnilingus.
I have no problem with the activity. My problem is with 'box.' Who came up with that? Is 'box' a code word for vulva that someone invented to discuss it around their parents? I mean, when I consider a vagina, 'box' is not a word that comes to mind. It neither looks like, feels like, or in any other way reminds me of cardboard. I find 'Box' to be a frightfully inadequate term. I guess one could say the same for a majority of slang words for the penis, too.
I realize saying 'penis' can make you feel a little silly, but what's wrong with calling something by its name? Penis. Breasts. Clitoris. Anus. Vagina. Testicles. Glans. Scrotum. There is an astounding amount of slang for them. Do people use these words to be funny, or is it out of some skewed victorian attitude? If you're comfortable enough to use pussy, cock, jugs, sack, nuts, and cornhole in public; I see no problem using the normal terms. C'mon, it IS possible to say 'penis' with a straight face.
Another one I hate is, "My other toy has tits!" How nice for you. Some members of our society like to toss around freedom of speech like a handful of excrement. This is one of the great things about America. You can use your freedom of speech to share insight, tell stories, bring about social change or you can use it to assault everyone around you with a complete lack of class. "Hey world! I'm so insecure about my machismo, I have to brag and degrade women in the same statement. The only women I can seduce are paid or made of vinyl. Yippie diddle-dee!"
It's ugly and no one likes it, but this IS one of the nice things about freedom of speech. You know a jerk is a jerk from the things they say. It makes social filtering really easy. If your personal filter leads to assy things like this; don't worry! Other people will be happy to take care of it for you.
