Last night, in my stand up comedy writing class, I invoked the name of Buck Angel. Nobody knew who he was and I bet some of you don’t either. He’s a female-to-male transsexual porn star who has had his\/her breasts removed, but his (?) vagina still remains. (Google him. I’m writing at work and he’s NSFW)<\/p>\n

I described him like this:<\/p>\n

Hand at forehead.<\/em><\/p>\n

“He looks like a biker: muscular, shaved head, goatee, hairy chest. So biker, biker biker…”<\/p>\n

I move my hand down my torso.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Biker biker biker…”<\/p>\n

My hand gets to my pelvis.<\/em><\/p>\n

(high voice) “… Cooter…”<\/p>\n

Hand at mid thigh.<\/em><\/p>\n

“…biker biker biker.”<\/p>\n

It got a laugh. But the teacher thought the word “cooter” was too Southern Baptist and may not read on an audience. What I find funny is that she’s a woman who finds the word “cunt” funny but not “cooter”. Comedy can be so subjective.<\/p>\n

When I first heard “cooter” I took the word in an tussled it’s spunky hair like an errant nephew. I was in love. I started to use it whenever I could: <\/p>\n

“Lord. That lasagna looks like a cooter!”<\/p>\n

Or even made it my own gender:<\/p>\n

“When I sit, I have a pain in my man-cooter.”<\/p>\n

To the point of nonsense:<\/p>\n

“Hey see that Gas station over there? I think we need to fill up and cooter the windscreen!” <\/p>\n

I’m going to keep it in the bit. I can only try, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
