Hmmm.. I just keep on learning don't I???
There was a discussion about gender of various concepts, and the issue of the camel toe comes to mind. What is the male equivalent of the camel toe?
The male equivalent would be "bulge". You have to say it a certain way, at a certain time, but it's just plain "bulge".
My understanding is that "Camel Toe" was coined or became popular from a sketch on the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show back in 2001. There was a character named Camel Toe Annie who came out waering sweat pants and did a dance with this ridiculously obvious camel toe. Not that I can stay up that late; somebody e-mailed me a clip.
I'd once heard a comedian say that it looks like a man is trying to smuggle plums. Perhaps a phrase can be made from that analogy. Although, if it is said a certain way, as Brian suggests, 'bulge' is apt.Hmmm... I wonder who started this thread - she says suspiciously...
I must say, until I was recently 'enlightened' by an American friend, I'd never heard the term before. Sheltered life?
How many toes does a camel have anyway?
OK, well I've done the research and I now know that camels have two toes, thus the term (as presented by Flyguy) I can see must be confined to the female gender. Although the squirrel's pretty impressive don't you think?
Goddess.......you got to the squirrel, did you? Seems to me there was a lot of research on your part since the squirrel was on the last page of 9 'mens Camel Toe' pages. The effort you put into being fully informed is impressive.
Thankyou Flyguy. I do like to immerse myself in my work.
