“Manscaping”...a vulgar term that makes most people, including me, wince

.
Let’s just call it ‘grooming’ and leave it at that. I’m a little surprised you’d
ask, but as it happens I’ve groomed myself for decades. Women groom,
so why shouldn't men? Laziness. Besides, finding hair in one’s mouth
might’ve been amusing when we were young...but as an adult it’s
just disgusting. One of the strangest comments on the subject
came from an appalled Bill Bailey who seemed to think it
would result in, “a shadow on your scrot”...which I can
assure you doesn’t happen. The women I’ve known
since the 1990's
all groomed themselves, so...
...when in Rome

. It just became a habit,
neither unpleasant nor laborious, but
primarily as a hygienic courtesy to
anyone within pong's reach

.
Needs not saying that those persons with astigmatism
or hand tremors...should not attempt it alone

This illustrates how transcontinental communication can sometimes go hilariously awry.
Over here, "tums" is a brand of antacid tablets, which reminds me of the time someone
in the forum mentioned "pud" (i.e. pudding) whereupon I fell about laughing....because
pud is American slang for male genitals. So when this Crimbo rolls round and someone
asks, "Would you like more pud?"....you just might reconsider that second helping
