"Alright. one site in the body where, um, high density of staph can be released and toxins can be produced is in the, um, in the case of women that are wearing super-absorbent tampons. this graph illustrates the epidemiology curve of toxic shock syndrome. When the "Rely" tampons were introduced, they were super-absorbent. That changed the milieu of the, uh, um, uh.....um....the vah-...the vag-...what do you call it...the vagina, right? what is the word? that's where you put tampons, right? aaaaahh....i'm a microbiologist!"

You know what's awful? I have a female friend who can't say "clitoris." She says cli-TOR-is, not CLIT-or-is.
(I'm right, aren't I?)
According to this: http://m-w.com/dictionary/clitoris
it can rhyme with either hit-or-miss OR Dolores.
Although I encourage anyone not at work to make use of the audio pronounciation feature.
it wasn't that she couldn't get the word out of her mouth in public, or pronounce it correctly. she totally had a mind blank and forgot that the vagina was indeed called a vagina. it was great!
Also raises the question of, since she really can't summon the word, what she normally calls it.
I think she calls it pilgrim's pride.
Just sayin'
