Name like a female body part

I never worked out the body part that sounds like Dolores.... Mulva and Gipple yes but not Dolores. Can someone please enlighten me??

Clitoris.

And before anyone argues this point, both pronunciations are acceptable as far as Merriam-Webster is concerned.

No wonder we didn't get it -Damn Americans trying to reinvent the English language...(and before anyone takes any offence in US - I'm only joking!!!)

Well, after we got done removing the 'u' from 'colour' and 'favourite', we got bored. :)

(And don't get me started on lifts, lorries, bonnets and bumbershoots. As far as I'm concerned, we were just righting wrongs. <lol>)

Anyway, there's a cute little (racy) limerick that underscores the Seinfeldian pronunciation.

There once was a woman from Wheeling, Who claimed to have no sexual feeling. Till a cynic named Boris Merely touched her clitoris, And they had to scrape her off the ceiling.

See? It just doesn't sound right the British way.

Um, what's a bumbershoot? I'm Australian, not British and have never heard that one.

It's a British word for 'umbrella', which itself is a pretty silly word, but nothing on the order of 'bumbershoot'.

I know it's true because I heard Daphne on "Frasier" say it, and she's from Manchester.

I can tell you now that Bumbershoot is definately not a common saying especially in the south of England. I've never even heard of the word and I live in England. I reckon Bumbershoot is probably just Mancunian slang. (bloody northerners ;>)

I have never heared that word in any part of Britain ,Bumbershoot, and Jane Leeves from what i remember reading came from a totally different part of England and only put on a Mancunian acsent. Tom Beavington wrote in message news:8h3rn0$1dc$[email]...

The only people I've ever heard use the word "Bumbershoot" are (American) TV weathermen. They must teach "bumbershoot" "thunderboomers" and "the white stuff" (snow) at weatherguy school.

I think its a made for U.S. television word ArtVandelay2000 wrote in message news:[email]...

I'm American and I've heard the word but have no idea what it means. I don't feel it has anything to do with weather predictions though.

I'm from Manchester, and I'd just like to say that i've never heard the word 'bumbershoot' to describe an umbrella, until Daphne said it on Frasier. That is one unrealistic accent she has, as if anyone talks like that.

For some reason it took me forever to figure it out. Clitoris
