Very Verbal Vaggy

[beautifulduckweed]

In today's example of "Wow, the point just whooshed by so fast past these people that you could hear a sonic boom from its passing," a theater company changed its marquee to read "The Hoo Ha Monologues" instead of "The Vagina Monologues."

Seriously. The HOO HA MONOLOGUES. They've restored the marquee to the original title now, but Sarah posted this snippet of news on Smart Bitches, and the Bitchery has come up with the following suggestions, should the Floridians require other euphemistic titles for The Vagina Monologues:

Twat Tales
Coochie Conversation
Pussy Galore
Clam Conundrum
Tales of the Taco
If These Bearded Lips Could Talk
Parting the Beef Curtain
Love Box Babble
The Taco Show
Clit Chit Chat
Solipsistic Slits
The Erudite Orifice
Gabby Glistening Orifices
Pedantic Pussies
Navel-Gazing Nuunuu
Prattling Poontang
The Loquacious Hey Nanner Nanner
Conversationalistic Coochies
Yappy Yaws

"Bryce Pfanenstiel from The Atlantic Theatre told local TV station Channel 4 the woman said she was "offended" when her niece asked her what a vagina was."

She should be offended that her niece had to ask.

That's... so sad.

Yes, no kidding. And honestly, would it have made it any less awkward if the kid had asked "What's a hoo-ha?"

Seriously. VAGINA. It's like becoming offended over the word "cloaca." Or "mammaries."

Agreed. People are far too worried over simple words that have no bad connotations to them.

Did you catch that Neil Gaiman's daughter is in the production?

After the production's organizers complained, the theater pussied out and restored the original title.

Also, Babbling Baby Caves.
