[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Pussy?, How in the world did it get that name?

Had a great discussion Friday night at a club. The subject arose of how the word "Pussy" has become applicable as a descriptive name for the female fun zone. No one seemed to be able to come up with a believable answer. Anyone got any ideas?

"Pussy" as a slang term for the female pudenda is thought to derive ultimately from Low German puse "vulva" or Old Norse puss "pocket, pouch". It didn't arise in English with a sexual meaning until the 19th century, but prior to that it had been used to refer to women in general (16th century). It has since also come to mean "effeminate, feeble, or homosexual men or boys and or theinfamousjax" (20th century).

I've heard those explanations. But, no one in the group I was with bought it. They all agreed that "pussy" was a lot more contemporary than the 19th century when referring to it.
