pulling the pud

Here in our little love nest it is sometimes necessary to pause foreplay in order to shake our sillies out. Last night while we were getting down to the business of getting down, Peter made an offhand remark about his weenie. I replied, "weenie, schmeenie", to which he replied, "puddin' and pie". I started giggling because of the word "pud" in there; Peter didn't get it, so I had to explain that some of the boys I knew growing up used to refer to their weenie as "pud" (Peter had never heard of this, has anyone else? Or were we just backwoods losers who made up stupid words?).

We then mused for a moment on possible etymologies for the word "pud", until Peter said, hey, wasn't Pud that kid in the Bazooka Joe comics with the red turtleneck pulled up over his nose? And with that mental image, much hilarity ensued.

Sadly, a little internet searching in the sober light of morning totally burst my bubble and revealed that Pud was, in fact, the striped-shirted lad in the Dubble Bubble comics, and Bazooka Joe's foreskin-sweatered friend was named Mort. Dang.

Heh. Pud was also the same of one of my favoritest cats, and it suited him so well that it took me months, if not years, to recall the phallic conotations of that word.

Actually, I have heard that euphamism before. So I can confirm to you it at least made it as far as Ottawa!

Sad to say, my "pud" has been pulled many a time.

I have heard it too. My ex (from rural CT and Illinois) was the first one I had heard use it.

That explains why all the boys in my neighborhood called their little friends "Mort."

And that might also be why I tend to date women.
