15 Surprising Hidden Meanings Behind Rude Words

1. Vagina

What it means: The "official" name for a lady's genitals. Occasional use for morons. When to use it: When you're casually observing your vagina in a mirror because you can, "Oh, look how beautiful my vagina is." When Dave was late to meet you because he still didn't listen to the time and he's also a bit dim "Dave, you are seriously such a vagina. Sort your life out." Where it came from: Etymologically, the C word is more feminist than vagina because of how the word vagina translates in Latin. It literally means sword holder or sword sheath, meaning that it needs the male counter part to be complete. It's also accepting that need and desire to have a man to feel completed.
