it's called vajayjay; euros need not apply

Rapper Jay-Z was flashing euros in a recent video, and supermodel Gisele Bundchen was refusing to accept payment in dollars. are these items unrelated?

and!

The New York Times Style section published a feature on the rise of the term "vajayjay" to describe female genitalia. "The reason that vajayjay has caught on, I think, is because there is a black--Southern especially--naming tradition, which is to have names like Ray Ray and Boo Boo and things like that," said John H. McWhorter, a linguist at the Manhattan Institute. "It sounds warm and familiar and it almost makes the vagina feel like a little cartoon character with eyes that walks around."

yes of course it is from them!

Wow. So, official slang from grade schoolers makes it to adulthood? Fancy and fun!

What does the Manhattan Institute know about African American Southern naming traditions? They're usually too busy trying to privatize the oppression of those traditions...
