Apparently it's International Beaver Day and I'm really curious as to why vagina started being referred to as beaver.

"Etymology Online offers that beaver in the gynecological sense is British slang dating from 1927, transferred from earlier meaning "a bearded man" (1910), or from the appearance of split beaver pelts."

So I suppose anatomically we aren't really referring to the vagina itself but the labia.

Ooooh okay. This video says that merkins were made of the hide of a beaver. And that is where it came from. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=uNxENdpwkEY

Maybe they are called beavers because they both eat wood. hehehehehe

I'm tired
