Thanks. I trust CypherCypher's ego will now -- having been popped --
return to whatever its normal size is.
(It thought you were refusing to answer my question because it had a
fight with you over the weekend.)

From the other literal sense, the picking (plucking) of cherries from a
tall cherry tree.

Exactly -- since the default cherry for females is the front bottom,
if the breaching of the back bottom is what's under discussion, a
modifier such as "anal" or "backdoor" is required.

Front bottom? Front bottom? Is that where they wee-wee? |

My ego is never inflated by being able to answer simple questions,
Peter. The answer was much too obvious to make me feel proud that I
knew it. I've been wondering what your problem was, though.

It means virginity, that's all. In a pinch, you could
imagine that cherry = hymen, but show me a cherry
that looks like a hymen or a hymen that looks like
a cherry. Such parts tend to be named after what
they look like, like, for instance "apricot" (in
French), "peach" in Chinese. French and Japanese,
rather independently I believe, also concur there:
"moule" and "hamaguri" (and Australian English:
"bearded clam").
I should think that, on these bases, "cherry" could
be barely construed as anything but "clitoris".
But clitoris = virginity? It's a wild semantic
jump.

Consider it a datum, Peter.

It has been already suggested here that "cherry" has one important
attribute in common with "blood" and that is being of "red colour".
On the European Continent that is usually regarded as the main
reason for this term "cherry".
I am beginning to suspect that most of the people in this thread
have never been with a virgin. :-)

That's because they've become so rare -- of legal age anyway.

But I'd always thought they had utterly different meanings: flaunt =
show off, display with misguided pride, and flout = break, violate,
act in disregard of.

"Flaunt" makes sense here as "strut about boasting of (true or imagined)
authority over..."

purely in the other sense. Bah.

Yes, that's the image that came to my mind when I saw the term "cherry
picking", because I wasn't aware of the other meaning.

Same is true in the USA --- or at least it was when I was a boy
there. Nobody believed that the hymen resembled a cherry.

That's probably true. They're hard to find. I have been with two, my
first wife and a former Japanese girlfriend. That means that the
percentage of virgins I've been with is in single digits, and I
haven't been with all that many women, especially compared with an
old grad school classmate who had reached the 1000 mark before his
21st birthday. I have no idea how many virgins he'd been with by
then, but 30 years ago there were even fewer than there are today.

Yes, definitely. There again it is used in the meaning of "flout".
