Four String Samurai

Today I learned that the Firefox spell-checker recognizes the word "vagina" but not "vaginas."

Unknown said...: That's because the plural of "vagina" is "vaginae."

How about you take a couple years of Latin and get back to us?; April 30, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Here are the situations in which I'd use "vaginae":

(1) When discussing scabbards with Pliny the Elder.

(2) If a guy is showing me his female genital collection, in which all of his specimens are pinned to backings and framed under glass like butterflies. And I would only be humoring him until I could escape and call the cops.
