Dogs and Jeans: Vagenis or Mangina

Vagenis or Mangina

Yesterday I moderated a debate between the 12 Y.O. and the 14 Y.O. the topic of which was: If a person was born with combined reproductive organs, would it be termed a Vagenis or Mangina? It really is no Algonquin Round Table in these parts.

I can't tell you who won, but I think I lost several IQ points preventing the idiocy from escalating to violence. It's amazing how passionate each child can become over an idea that only occurred to them 20 seconds before.

I'm glad all those years of school have really paid off for me.

Weith Kick said...: Mangina sounds like a disease, "I have mangina," while Vangenis sounds like a metal band, "Vangenis rocked tonight!"; June 26, 2008 8:49 PM
Robin said...: Don't listen to my brother, Weith Kick. He's adopted.

Thanks for stopping by and reading about my nightmare dog.

Oh, and personally I prefer the "Bro" as opposed to the "Man-zere".; June 26, 2008 10:37 PM

Mangina is contracted from too much on-line dating (according to my Ex).

With friends like you lot of Bloggers coming up with new definitions, I thing I'll keep the Webster's folks on speed dial.; June 26, 2008 11:01 PM
Always Home and Uncool said...: Vangenis - Didn't he do the "Chariots of Fire" theme, too?

Looking forward to similar debates in my house between Thing 1 and 2 in the future. Please pass on your notes to me.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a brilliant insight. I'll be back again.; June 27, 2008 6:33 AM

If you need me I'll be researching all girl boarding schools located in former nuclear bunkers.; June 27, 2008 6:47 AM
Manager Mom said...: Ha! I had a similar IQ drop after I realized that I spent an earnest 20 minutes discussing which Adam Sandler 'films' were the best.

(P.S. Happy Gilmore #1, in my opinion.); June 28, 2008 4:42 AM
Trooper Thorn said...: I will remove myself from their debates the first time one of the kids uses the term "juxtapose' to strengthen their position on how much hair gel is too much hair gel.

"Big Daddy" runs a very close second to "Happy Gilmore" with "Billy Madison" coming up on the outside.

Thanks for stopping by.; June 28, 2008 8:08 AM
LiteralDan said...: I'm gonna go with Happy Gilmore as well, and second place doesn't matter.

As for Vangenis v. Mangina (read that like a Supreme Court case), I think we'll have to leave that to The Great Judge upstairs. Who could possibly make that call without regrets??

Can I come stay at your house? I miss times like that, and my kids won't get me back there for years and years. Lousy toddlers.; June 28, 2008 9:26 AM
LiteralDan said...: (btw lest you think you hear crickets chirping, I loved the Peter Labia line); June 28, 2008 9:27 AM
Ms Picket To You said...: Giant Four Year Old calls it a "Ginis." Long i followed by short i.

Please don't ask how and why this came up.; June 30, 2008 10:04 AM
Trooper Thorn said...: In a futureistic society, when humans have evolved past gender differences, everyone will just have a "ginis" under our tear-away paper jumpsuits.; June 30, 2008 2:22 PM
Lisa said...: Visiting from Mama Dawg....

I personally vote for Mangina. I LOL'd reading that!; August 20, 2008 6:33 PM
