I know neither of you are actually eager to beat up kids, but I suddenly remembered that weird teabagging story and wanted to share.

Also, I'd love to hear where were got the term "boobies" from if you have a moment.

I suppose she was specifically concerned about clothing that shows her vagina..? I really have nothing to offer at present on the topic of genital slang and/or unicorns, though. I'll get back to you on that when work eases up a bit. I must confess I didn’t look at the photos myself before posting this.

Unless she had contractual approval. In which case, why did the stylist enter into it. @zandperl

Though a quick trip to the etymology dictionary tells me that its a cognate of Old English <i>scrud</i>, which seems an unfortunately underused slang term for scrotum. This cover shoot seems rather strong evidence that television and gaming enthusists are the mainstream demographic of right now. This is today's us pop culture, finestkind. Makes me wonder who I'd beat up if I were 10 years old again. I don't know who this woman is really, but if I was asked by Playboy to show my scrud, I'd probably do it. But then again, I'd probably ride a unicorn as well; rare and unlikely opportunities shouldn't be passed by. Scrotum is second declension (um), so you’re correct, its scrota.

On the other hand, I think the description of her "not stripping off" is deceptive - did you see the free photos? http://www.playboy.com/girls/celebrities/features/olivia-munn/index.html Her continual use of the word "vagina" and nicknames for it amused me. This isn't specific to geekdom, but why is it that we can talk about penises and scrotums (scrota?), but we can't talk about vaginas and clits? On the one hand, I’m glad she stuck to her guns and didn’t strip off.

(Oddly snarky way of putting it.) I am happy that she's getting more film offers on that basis, though.
