You've made no case that the term "cherry" refers to such,
and have indeed provided at least one counterexample.
For the third (at least) time, look at any pornography store,
and you will find endless references to "anal cherries."
Why bother with pornography stores when Googling is much faster?
"anal cherry" = 16,400 hits
"anal cherries" = 24,800 hits
Why do you keep trying to shut me out of your conversation?
Perhaps (unlike you) he's repulsed by anal cherries?

I have very little interest in them.

Why bother with pornography and Googling when
French comic strips are funnier?
This one, by the late artist Reiser (a long-time
contributor to Hara-Kiri), shows a deserted beach
with two girls sunbathing nude. Two (awful) guys
are hiding in the bushes and start taunting them,
making comments about what the girls' clitorises
might look like and so on. The girls hurl insults
back at them. Eventually the guys say: "we're not
after you, you're safe, we are gay. We have
clitorises too". "WHAT????". They continue:
"But we call them haemorrhoids". At which
the girls burst out laughing... and the two
guy drop their bathers and say to each other
"we got them laughing! they're ours!"

Which _proves_ that they can't say "cherry" _as a term_ and expect people to
know what they're talking about! The fact that the word is part of a larger
term which _does_ refer to such is irrelevant!
what do you mean "shut you out"? |

No, it proves that "cherry" does not refer exclusively to vaginal
virginity, nor "anal cherry" to males.

You keep changing the followups to exclude sci.lang.

virginity,

It proves that IN ISOLATION it does. For another example, you can hardly
pass off Diet Coke as "Coke" outside those places where "coke" is a generic
term. |
