There are actually _2_ possibilities for the naughty bit in question. Break out those anatomy books!

What I've been wondering about that show is why didn't Jerry or George think of Regina?

So you're saying Regina (like Geena) sounds like Vagina? Nope. If it did sound similar than you can bet they would've said it.

We went into a great deal of discussion about this when the episode originally aired. Try asking a Canadian what city is the capital of Saskatchewan. (No, this isn't a non sequitur -- you'll understand when you get the answer.) Note that the poster who suggested Regina is Canadian himself.

Obviously you've never heard of the Canadian city Regina, Saskatchewan (pronounced like vagina). Perhaps the writers have also not heard of our city situated in the prairies so it wasn't brought up. :)

Regina can be pronounced

Reg-ee-na

or

Reg-eye-na

the latter pronunciation being the relevant one.

Is it just me, or is anyone else starting to think that the pronunciation of Regina isn't the problem, but instead, the pronunciation of vagina?

Celina? 8^)
