Megan ByrneDo You Name Your Body Parts?
September 28th 2006 00:52
I don't live under a rock or somewhere where I'm alone all the time, but a lot of the things I see and hear about people and what they do strikes me as being really, really strange. But I figure it works the other way around, too, so it's a wash.
One thing that I always thought of as being downright wierd is men naming their penises. Isn't it enough that it already has a name? Are theirs so special and unique they can't be called the same as others?
And there's a companion twist to part naming. Some women can't be content calling their breasts breasts or boobs or anything like that. Nope. Seems like the men aren't the only ones to give individual character to body parts.
My sister, Susie, and I were talking about this oddity this afternoon. It's quite ok with us for others name whatever they want any name they want. We did, though, have trouble with where to draw the line. For that matter, why is it drawn at all? Or did we miss the memo about only naming the naughty parts? Are we supposed to only name the parts we cover?
I also wonder about introductions. If my sister and I were to meet you for the first time, I'd say "Hi. I'm Harmony and this is my sister, Susie". But will I have just made a faux pas? Perhaps the more correct etiquette would be to introduce the 2000 parts of each of us, while I'm at it.
Jeez, I'd really like to know the rules before I make a fool of myself, I mean us.
