I'm curious.

What are your thoughts of Urban Dictionary's definitions of vagina?

vagina
2354 up, 883 down


The vagina is a buggy, often catastrophically so, feature of the Female Edition of the Human Being version 1.0. After approximately 13 to 16 years of proper operation, the vagina becomes problematic and starts failing periodically (no pun intended) around once a month. This in turn leads to the corruption (often permanent) of the mental faculties of the host. Whenever this happens, the individual in question is commonly referred to as "a bitch."

It is widely expected by pundits and pollsters alike that the vagina will be either entirely removed or fixed by the next release of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. When asked about any current patches to resolve this issue in existing organisms, Evolution clearly stated that it has "no resources available at the moment." In addition, it was widely made known by Nature that the vagina was a design decision "not fully thought-out." As a result, humanity has suffered the devastating consequences, on a roughly monthly basis.

Jennifer is really furious today, and is acting completely incoherently; it must be her vagina again.

by far the best definition

oh my god

My vagina is offended by this. :(

[mysteriousmeat.livejournal.com]

mine had a big hearty laugh

[queenofdelosers.livejournal.com]

Mine too.

[ontheradiouhoh.livejournal.com]

I'm sure after this posting, the thumbs down will increase. I know I gave it one.

[mysteriousmeat.livejournal.com]

still funny

[drownophelia.livejournal.com]

13 to 16 years of proper operation? that either means, to me, that a woman is good to fuck up to 13 or 16 years old, or, a woman is good to fuck for 13 to 16 years post-menarch, and either way, is exceptionally offensive. i'm about 13 years post-menarch, and i do believe i have far more than 3 more years of good sex ahead of me.

[sour-candy.livejournal.com]

No, it means that around 13-16 years of age, a girl gets her first period.

[drownophelia.livejournal.com]

well, even there, that's not technically correct, the range is 9-21 years. but, i see little point arguing with people who find this stuff hilarious.

[thatbitchfiona.livejournal.com]

It's a shame you're so eager to shut down dialogue instead of participating in it.

[drownophelia.livejournal.com]

i think that i would probably fundamentally disagree with people who find that majority of these entires funny (cf "vagina: the box the penis cums in" being listed at least three times), and i don't really think it's worth my time or energy to try to convert such people to my personal feminist sensibilities.

[shaunanigans.livejournal.com]

I actually find it fairly offensive?

my name is jennifer. i'm betting my boyfriend will find that example EXTREMLY humorous.

[darness.livejournal.com]

I find it pretty freakin' funny. It is Urban Dictionary, after all, and not to be taken seriously.

A sacred portal through which all light, goodness, rejuvenation, joy and ecstasy may enter the human form.

That woman has a vagina.

I liked that one.

[falnfenix]

oh poop...your icon, what movie was it? i can't remember and i wanted to find it for Halloween week viewing.

[rahnia.livejournal.com]

I'm not berryfondue, but it's Hocus Pocus!

[falnfenix]

THANK YOU!!! i think the last time i saw it may have been over 10 years ago...heh.

[berryfondue.livejournal.com]

Hocus Pocus. :)

[falnfenix]

thank you. i've been trying to remember the name of it for ages!

[berryfondue.livejournal.com]

Mhm!

[dream-a-fever.livejournal.com]

one of my rats name is hocus pocus (:

[cryingcat613.livejournal.com]

Sweet icon btw.

[justreadmyspine.livejournal.com]

I think they're all hilarious :)

George W. Bush, our \"President.\"

...

...

...

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

I, for one, think my vagina is way cooler than George W. Bush.

That is not necessarily a political statement. I just think vaginae are cool. ;)

[swirlinoblivion.livejournal.com]

Wow. That just made my day. I'm laughing so hard it's throwing off my fiance's video game playing.

Thank you for that!

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

It is a shame that my vagina is not old enough to run for president.

[rockstarbob.livejournal.com]

And how.

[with-redribbons.livejournal.com]

oh yea. hahaha. thanks for the laugh.

[camille-a-lily.livejournal.com]

oh sweet baby moses!

i have one and had never heard a huge chunk of those. that blew my vaginas mind

[emilia-romagna.livejournal.com]

i find it interesting that "vagina" had 52 definitions, while "penis" has over 200...

however, my favorite one was the first - short, sweet, and oh so true. "the best friend a penis will ever have." even my boyfriend agreed. he, btw, refers to this community as vagina vagina. i think he just really likes the word.

in general, the fact that people are coming up with their own, usually irreverent definitions doesn't bother me. its the ones that just aren't funny that annoy me.

[with-redribbons.livejournal.com]

I actually dislike the first one a lot. Not all vaginas are buddies with the penis.

[queenofdelosers.livejournal.com]

I think they're really stupid. Most of them are focused on the vagina as a tool for men's stimulation and pleasure. In my experience, I enjoy my vagina and it's surrounding area a lot more than any man could ever. And I like to think of it as an independent organ that wouldn't exist if a penis didn't. But, then, a penis wouldn't exist if a vagina never did. Biologically speaking. Most of the definitions also ignore the fact that the vagina is not usually the preferred place for oral sex. So many misinformed people out there!

Alix Olson's Cunt Country just started playing in my winamp when I starting replying to this post :D

[ilikerivers.livejournal.com]

They pretty much all refer to vagina's as something that penises go in. GRR. I hate that, reading the definitions there made me feel icky, but this song is making me feel better.

[unreconcildmind.livejournal.com]

I love Alix Olson! Always good for a feminist-pick-me-up.

my vagina has a great sense of humor, especially after reading definitions of other words on urbandictionary, such as gravity (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gravity).

knowing that most of the definitions are written by straight men (who spend a lot of time on the computer), of course they are mostly about the vagina in relation to the penis. just as i, as a straight woman, find it incredibly difficult to relate the penis to much other than where i usually want to put it during sex.

so don't get offended! urbandictionary is a beautiful place where you can share your definition of vagina, too. i like #14, "The body part all boys wish they had and all girls are proud of"

[lupie-stardust.livejournal.com]

My favourite one was:

"An insult:

- You, sir, are a vagina"

Heee.

[drownophelia.livejournal.com]

while the debate could go on as to whether these should be taken seriously or with a grain of salt, i think the two pages of definitions i read (i couldn't go any further) really show explicitly how little most people know about the vagina, and how much they objectify the vagina. the vagina is either a tool of men's pleasure, or an insult.

my vagina isn't a tool. it is one part of a whole body, which not only gives me immense pleasure, but gives pleasure to people i allow to access it. it is not an insult, it is vital part of the human experience, and i am saddened by the majority of these entries, and the ignorance evident in them.

[betterbebalboa.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that Urban Dictionary is the same source that treats the Donkey Punch and the Dirty Sanchez as common sexual techniques worthy of praise.

Honestly? Why would I take their definitions seriously? They're good for a laugh or a shock, nothing more.

[ex-avianity.livejournal.com]

I must say, #8 is the most educational set of synonyms I've ever encountered.

[jadeserenity.livejournal.com]

Most of them are incredibly stupid. Which is hardly surprising coming from that website.

[aesoploveee.livejournal.com]

I liked this one:

"vagina is the gate to heaven"

You can either get mad about the stupidity/immaturity of some people, or you can just laugh it off. This IS Urbandictionary we're talking about. Not to say it's not offensive, but really, I don't see the point in getting angry at people I'll never meet and would probably never say those things in real life. :)

[my-neighborhood.livejournal.com]

It's honestly very surprising to me that anyone can be offended by this. It's annonymous people joking around, take it for what it is, sillyness. If you don't find it funny so be it, but why take it personally?
