Post subject: "Booze", "girl cum", and register |
|

The words "booze" and "girl cum" seem to have no good non-slang
equivalents. "Alcoholic beverage" and "female ejaculatory fluid" are
too long and formal sounding.
Why do we even have register?

Vaginal juices aren't the same as girl cum, though.

When I was in Canada, the question "Would you like a drink?" was
automatically taken to mean an alcoholic drink: a perfectly reasonable
response would have been "No thanks; I'll just have coffee".
When asked the same question in the UK -- or, at least, in the parts of
England where I've lived -- there's no connotation of alcohol. The
word "drink" means simply what it says, and -- unlike in Canada -- the
question can be asked first thing in the morning without suggesting
that somebody's a hardened alcoholic.
Even after all these years, it still strikes me as slightly odd when
people ask if I'd like a drink, and they're clearly not offering booze.

I'm not sure what the latter is. I think the former is a lubricant
secreted by a gland (the Cowper?). The latter may be due to momentary
loss of bladder control during orgasm resulting in brief, involuntary
squirts of urine.
R D Laing recalled in (IIR) 'The Politics of Experience' about a young
lady patient who was too embarrassed to enter into a serious
relationship with a man because she lost all control of her bladder
whenever she had an orgasm. He introduced her to a male patient who
fantasized about being pissed on by women [1]. They got on famously and
eventually got married, spending a blissful honeymoon in a shower
cabinet.
R D Laing was like that.
[1] Most men are quite accustomed to this.
Where's Rey? He's the xspurt on this sort of thing.

I may have snoozed through the pertinent part of this thread, but I
haven't seen anyone offer the obvious neutral synonym for "booze" --
"liquor." Well, okay, here it is now.

I agree with Lieblich's choice of liquor.
Regarding girl cum, "female ejaculate" is the best I have. I argued
that the difficulty stems from the fact that there is little need for a
non-slang non-clinical term, but my girl had a useful counter: were one
conducting a class on female ejaculation for sex-positive but
inexperienced women, a friendly and non-explicit term would be
necessary.
What sort of environment did you envision for its usage?

Problem with this is that, in some communities at least, "liquor" is confined to
the hard stuff...there are people who will say in all seriousness, "I never
touch liquor; I just had a couple of beers"....
They'll even say it when the cops pull them over....r |

And I'm surprised at your experience in England. I'd have thought "a |
drink" almost universally meant an alcoholic drink. The alternative is
"Would you like something to drink?" unless it's to a small child.

But that would only work in America, and doesn't it imply spirits,
rather than beer or wine? "Grog" is still used in Australia to cover not
only rum-based drinks, but even beer.

Ah, yes, my choice of liquor: single malt. Come back to Greater
Laurel, Laura, and it's my treat.
R.H. Draney suggested that "liquor" falls short of defining "booze"
because it doesn't include beer and (I infer) wine. But to me,
"booze" is just the hard stuff. Beer and wine ren't booze. Oh,
they'll get you snackered, sure enough, but booze they ain't.
I do not offer "liquor" as the choice for the other fluid under
discussion.

I didn't think booze referred to beer, either.

But I venture the challenging statement
that if American democracy ceases to
move forward as a living force, seeking
day and night by peaceful means to
better the lot of our citizens, then
Fascism and Communism, aided, unconsciously
perhaps, by old-line Tory Republicanism,
will grow in strength in our land.

If you watch "COPS", when they pull a drunk over, he can't talk right, |
he can't walk right, but he can smash out the windscreen of the car with
the back of his head. He's obviously drained a quart of the hard shit
but he's still only had "a couple of beers". It's always that, "a couple
of beers". Maybe they mean to say a couple of gallons of beer.

Vaginal juices aren't the same as girl cum, though.

I'd argue they are exactly the same. Women do not ejaculate. When
aroused or, better yet, when experiencing orgasm, the flow of these
juices generally increases.
