Quote:In no instance in this guide are we saying we want to replace the word vagina.
"Front hole," as another term for vagina, is also used by the National Institutes of Health, Human Rights Campaign, BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth journal, and Fenway Health in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, the National LGBT Health Education Center, and the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers.
We’re Not Renaming the Vagina
Whew! Thank goodness. It was just a suggestion as another acceptable term. I was worried there for a minute. Can you imagine trying to schedule an appointment? What do you need to see the doctor for today? Um…something’s not right with my hole. Is it your front hole, back hole, or your upper front hole? Who comes up with the stuff, anyhow?
Wait! Wait!
Ah! Mmm! Yes! Yes! Ooo...baby, fire in the hole!
Nah, doesn’t work for me. Well, you can’t say that I didn’t give it the good old college try.

Good grief. If the trendy agenda now is to topple formal nomenclature from its high horse and drag it beaten and bloody into the streets, then they could as much settle for "front door" if not "anterior foyer".
Would have added even more pressure on any future occasions when/if Courtney Love has to retrospectively de-emphasize one of the lesser sources for her now retired band name.
Love had originally wanted to name the band *Sweet Baby Crystal Powered by God*, but opted for the name Hole instead. During an interview on *Later... with Jools Holland*, Love claimed the name for the band was inspired by a quote from Euripides' Medea that read: "There is a hole that pierces right through me." Love cited a conversation with her mother as the primary inspiration for the band's name, in which her mother told her that she couldn't live her life "with a hole running through her." Love also acknowledged the "obvious" genital reference in the band's name, alluding to the vagina, though stated that the primary source of the name was the conversation between her and her mother. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_(band)#Background

That actually sounds way more objectifying.
But I've already seen people using it as a replacement for the pejorative "pussy", where it actually seems somewhat fitting.
Some people are assholes and some are frontholes.

I kept feeling that the film Hellfighters must have surely been an occasion when John Wayne uttered that as a line. But encountered Jackson Hole instead. I won't pursue the links in the latter wikipedia article any further to learn if if this is just the start of a prolonged chain of coincidences for alternative renaming possibilities for the medical profession...
The term "hole" was used by early trappers or mountain men, who primarily entered the valley from the north and east and had to descend along relatively steep slopes, giving the sensation of entering a hole. These low-lying valleys surrounded by mountains and containing rivers and streams are good habitat for beaver and other fur-bearing animals.

OMG! That’s hilarious, C C, but what about 'gate'? I like that one. I’m picturing those guys who walk around and are always fumbling with those bulky keys. Signaling importance but you wonder why no one’s ever given him the master key.
GATEKEEPERS JOB DESCRIPTION:
A gatekeeper must have good surveillance skills, deal with uncertainty, judgment, and objectivity. She must be ethical, confident, and dependable. She must be able to recognize potentially dangerous situations and respond in the safest and most effective manner. She’ll be required to work a variety of different shifts and maintain a drug free environment. A gatekeeper’s duties include maintaining order in society by complying with legal requirements. She’ll permit entry and monitor all other access points. A gatekeeper must determine those who are destined for the world to come. A gatekeeper lax in any of her duties could bring ruin upon the entire civilization.

LOL. Time for the Urban Dictionary to get a contribution from you, providing it a 3rd meaning for "gate". (EDIT: Woops, make that circa the 8th meaning-- I didn't scroll down far enough.) It does have "gate" and "gated" as a verb slash vulgar synonym for oral stimulation (i.e., surprisingly dealing with the target at hand). But a noun hasn't been derived from such yet.

Wait! Wicket what? Oh, god no. It’s probably best to avoid British slang altogether.
Jesus! Where did this originate? Let me guess, Essex?

Any attempt to explain English culture in full would be beyond the scope of this thread. And bottle.

Yeah, well, I think I had my fill of the slang at the old place. You know, I never did figure out whose socks were whose. There was list but it didn’t contain all of them. Donovan had a lot. I convinced him to let me have one. He gave me the password but then he pissed off when he was peeking in my PM’s at his place. So, I changed the password and took that little puppet hostage. I never liked that guy. I never met him but I won’t forget him. That’s one of the downfalls of having a good memory. I do feel bad for him though. The song he posted in his topic is sad. You should say something to him, C2.
