As for clients, one (a plaintiff) wanted to make a point about frivolous lawsuits and regaled me with the story of the dumb woman who spilled coffee "on her pussy" --- as if I'd never heard the story before.

So its also a sexist slur? Should I expect the little twist in the Lisa Loeb shades down the hall to get all bent up when I use it in front of her? Whatever. Our language is already generic enough because of PC ninnies. Should I be careful to avoid using "motherfucker" so as not to offend fathers around me? Maybe I should just stick to "fucker" and offend everyone. Or perhaps I'll go British-coarse and start using "cunt" all the time. When women get wound up about it, I'll chide them for being so parochial and domestic.
I never use "pussy". Its degrading. I go with "trim".
