    There are presumably 'non-goofy people' who refer to "pregnant persons", "persons with vaginas, cervixes, uterus.", rather than saying an (apparently) unspeakable gendered term like "woman" or "man".BC

    The National Lampoon used to call them "vagino-Americans."

    I first read that in about 1974 and I still laugh every time I say, or write, it.

    Aha, that actually made me laugh out loud for several minutes.

    As I noted, that was written in about 1974. They probably wouldn't have been able to print it now. For that matter, very little of what was in the National Lampoon would be suitable for 2024.
