As these things come and go, I have no idea if it is still in vogue, but the slang, at least for a while, was to refer to the male specific anatomy as “junk”. At least I heard a lot of comedians on the telly doing so. Recently Señora referred to my personal masculine anatomical configuration as paraphernalia.
Paraphernalia… hmm, I didn’t know about that. One dictionary definition of this word is: trappings associated with a particular institution or activity that are regarded as superfluous. What is superfluous, the trappings, the institution or activity? There appears to be a little ambiguity in that definition. Another source gives the definition as: the separate real or personal property of a married woman that she can dispose of by will and sometimes according to common law during her life.
To the second definition…OUCH. To the first, I certainly do not consider my apparatus superfluous – at least yet, and I am hoping Señora does not either.
But then again I did wonder what Señora had been smoking that she had paraphernalia on her mind.
And soooooo it goes.
