We prefer the term man-cow."" - Congeal: Just because gooey becomes crusty doesn''t mean we want to hear about it. - Crotch: This word is disturbing even when referring to trees. - Dingleberry: This is one fruit you don''t want to eat. - Half-cocked: Sounds like a circumcision that went too far. - Horehound: A drunk with too much money in his pocket on Saturday night.
