2. I believe the term to which you refer is the "Clenis". It is an entity all its own. nt

4. Is "The Clinis" different from "The Clenis"?
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 03:49 PM by IanDB1
If it is, then the word you're really looking for is "The Clagina," in which case, both "Clinis" and "Clagina" would be sexist.

8. but would it be sexist to refer to both...

13. Yeah, afraid so.
Actually, "The Clenis" can be an anti-male sexist word, but there are exceptions depending on its use. For example, I believe it is acceptable to use the word when you deride people for being obsessed with "The Clenis."

17. So far, the "Clagina" hasn't gotten Hillary into trouble, so it probably doesn't deserve a word yet.

12. Yes. It's a "Limbaugh word".
And it's juvenile.

14. Limbaugh came up with "The Clenis"? I did not know that!
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 04:03 PM by IanDB1
But Stephanie Miller came up with "Drug-addled gas-bag," so our side wins.

19. I think it appropriately mocks the RW's bizarre obsession with other people's sex lives.
And I think it's funny.
