When Donald Trump called Ted Cruz a "pussy" the other night, journalists resorted to some truly awful euphemisms to describe what happened.

On Monday night at one of his rallies, Donald Trump got on live TV and called Ted Cruz a "pussy."

To be completely fair, he was repeating something one of his audience members said, but he said it nevertheless. And like most things he says, it exploded into senseless internet virality.

Upon hearing his desiccated oral cavity utter the word "pussy," the media just out and shit their pants, lambasting Trump for using such a "disgusting" word. But of course, when you're Fox News or CNN, you're not allowed to actually say "pussy" in your reporting, so media outlets had to get creative about describing what happened.

Brilliantly, Gawker reporter Ashley Feinberg was tracking this, and picked up several examples of hilariously bad "pussy" euphemisms. Then, to highlight their utter inaneness, she made them into beautiful art cards:

So floral!

Yet, outside the media, the word "pussy" is the term of choice for most women when it comes naming their vaginas. A quick Google search for "what to call vagina" brings up article after article prasing "pussy" for its casual, non-medical and ubiquitous meaning.  "Pussy" is even the preferred word used in Orgasmic Meditation, a rapidly growing practice that promotes consciousness through orgasm (read our coverage of the practice here). And of course, on our site, you'll find us pussing it up all day everyday. We love pussy.

And we really, really hate to say this, but … good on Trump for having the (shriveled, impossibly liver-spotted) balls to say it on live TV, in front of thousands of people. It's not a disgusting or despicable word, it's just a word, people.

So, to the mainstream media, whose verbiage suggests a lady's genitals are untouchable shame-sacks and whose delicate morals are mistakenly offended by a term most women actually prefer to use … pussy. Pussy forever.
