      I chose Robbie Burns as my poet for a poetry unit in high school just so I could stand up and read this poem outloud in class.

        I am not alone!
        Short story-a snippet if you will from work.
        Had to tell our insurance person our bank info.
        My voice apparently quivered when I said Big Beaver road.(I tried really hard to keep it together)
        Insurance person noticed and luckily we had a laugh.
        I simply cannot use muff in the traditional sense anymore.

          OMG, you must be a Michigander! I remember always thinking that the civil engineers must have been a humorous bunch. The 75 takes some pretty wide curves to make sure that the exit to Big Beaver Rd is exit 69. (Seriously!)

          We named our cat Muff. After a kitty in a children’s book. I never put two and two together until just now and realized that we named out pussy Muff. And the cat is 9 years old. :P

          There’s a sign near the school that advertises “bare beaver waxing”. It means exactly what it sounds like it means.

          Sadly I didn’t know the slang term “beaver” until college… I grew up in Hillsboro (OR) and had friends who lived in Beaverton… and attended Beaverton HS, whose mascot was… the Beavers. We would’ve had a heyday making fun of them, if only we’d known.

          Ah, missed opportunities. *sniff*

      We call a woman’s private area a “beaver” and also sometimes a “muff”. Dirty minded people also, whenever we hear the word “strap”, think of the dildos women (mostly lesbians) strap on to the front of their pelvis to fuck someone with.

        I sometimes ask guys, put these in your hand.
        Then I take a photo.
        - “Ok. Now I have a photograph that you’re putting your hand (in gloves),

      I’m just really upset that, as a muff owner for well over 40 years, this is the first I’ve discovered that I had the option to buckle it closed.

    I’m not sure. I don’t trust etsy. Last time I bought a beaver muff, it turned out to be a muskrat gauntlet….

      I bought one, and it ended up being faux-beaver. I think it came from Pamela Anderson originally.

      I don’t know what social circles you run in, but it’s considered low-class to call a uterus a “beaver bag”. Especially on a first date.

    Once, an older male acquaintance of mine tried to convince me to go on a beaver safari after having attended a particularly successful one himself. I got to put all of my smile suppression practice to good use.

    Also, I resisted the temptation to tell him I can see a beaver anytime I want.

      Reminds me of when I was around 11-years old and got taken to the doctors with a sick stomach, only to be diagnosed with what’s commonly known as Beaver Fever.

      In the car on the way home, I expressed my excitement about having such a funny named bug, “I can’t wait to go back to school and tell all my friends that I have beaver fever!!”

      As if my dad’s relationship with his budding pubescent daughter weren’t awkward enough, he then had to try and explain to me in such an intensely uncomfortable way that only a dad can, why this wasn’t such a great idea…

      “Uhmm… ‘beaver’ is another name for a woman’s… uhhm… reproductive – uhm – her vagina, that is to say… just… don’t tell people you’ve got beaver fever…”

      Longest, most painful car ride of my life. I’ve never been so grateful for 3AW (Australian talk-back radio program which helped fill the agonising silence) as I was that day…
