"'Cunt.' 'Pussy.' Among the most reviled words in English," teaching assistant Smith was telling his class. As he delivered his lecture on the history of English slang, Laura, at 23 the eldest student, sat back and took notice. She hiked up her skirt a little, enough to expose a hint of chestnut brown hair peeking out of her tight pink panties.
"The Eskimos have over 20 words for 'snow,'" he continued. Then he pointed to the word "cunt" written on the blackboard. "This shows you where our priorities are!"
'Indeed,' she thought as she exposed a little more skin for him. Her pussy lips were beginning to wetten. Could he see them?
She shifted a little in her seat. She opened her legs a little more. As the Indo-European cognates rolled off his lipsβ"cunnus, kunte, con, connos"βLaura opened her legs even more.
Finally, his eyes locked for a moment right where she wanted them. She closed her legs immediately. He looked away, but she caught a slight grin on his departing face. For the rest of the class period, she undressed him in her imagination, as she knew he was undressing her.

An hour later found the young woman in Professor Smith's office. She closed the door quietly as she entered. Then she leaned over his desk, the buttons on her blouse open and a hint of cleavage teasing his eye.
"Professor," she told him with a half-serious tone, "none of the topics for our next paper suit me. French influences on English, the decline of the inflected subjunctive -- I like the history of the English ... umm ... tongue, but I have another idea, one you may be interested in as well. I want to do a piece on female genital slang."
"Oh? Is that a big-enough topic?" he asked, taken aback.
"Oh, yes," she told him. "Indeed it is! I've been doing my research. There are more words for "vagina" than anything else in English, except drinking and copulation. Almost all of the words are slang. Over 1000 in all."
"A thousand? And where did you find these thousand?"
"Books, books, books, dear Hamlet. The Oxford English Dictionary, of course." She pointed out the 20-volume collection of English words on the professor's desk. "I've got a list of over 1000 terms for ... that part. That jewel. They can be grouped by topical relevance. Many of them have rich histories beyond what you told us in class."
He folded his arms over his chest. "Really. Run them off for me, my inquisitive young student."
"Yes, Professor." And she stood up and pulled the elastic of her skirt out, peering in.
Smith frowned. "Nice view?" he asked.
"Oooh," she moaned, putting a hand down her skirt. "Guess what I see 'down there'? Now there's a popular term. When you want to avoid saying 'vagina,' which is a clinical -- and also a military -- term referring to its sheathlike coverage of the swordlike penis, you can use geography: 'down there.' 'The lowlands.' 'Swamp,' 'mound of Venus,' 'tunnel of love,' 'heaven,' 'hell,' 'home sweet home,' 'Cock Inn.' 'Where the monkey sleeps.'"
Laura ran her fingers across the pink lips still hidden from her teacher's gaze, feeling the line that separated them. "This is what 'slit' means. "'Twat' means 'two,' like the two halves of my hot pussy." She rubbed her two outer pussy lips. "'Snatch' refers to how it grabs your cock or tongue, which it will do shortly."
Professor Smith reached forward, grabbed the young woman by her skirt, and gently pulled her forward. He peered into her clothing at her mound, then swiftly pulled the skirt down, coming face to face with, for the first time, his student's research project.
