I obviously wasn't an English major either. The "nipple guards" comment got me thinking that I should have added Body Glide to the vocabulary list. Body Glide (noun): Something that sounds a lot dirtier than it really is; a substance that sometimes prevents chafing and always makes you feel greasy: "Grease II was so low-budget that I think Adrian Zmed's pompador was held in place with Body Glide."
