Not only is Jesse not being inventive, but I (and I think every other

linguist I know) am sick and tired of being called a 'cunninglinguist'

(which seems to be independently thought up by every 'wag' I meet.



For a while (perhaps even now?) this was helped along by the linguists at

CUNY (who, you guessed it, called themselves CUNYlinguists).

What is a dental dam?



Effectively it's a flat piece of latex used to cover the vagina

so that cunnilingus can be performed without exchanging body

fluids.

Cunnilingus? By the context that I see it in here, I can guess what

it means. But it's not a word I am familiar with. Is it in common

usage? Or is Jesse being inventive?
