Quoted by Hemant Mehta. Rep. Callton was referring to Rep. Lisa Brown (D-West Bloomfield), who used the word “vagina” on the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives.

The word vagina is too offensive to say, but not too offensive to legislate. Ok. Wow. What are we supposed to call it then? Nether regions? Meat muffin? Hoo-ha? Vertical grimace? Flytrap? Catcher’s mitt? Beef curtains? Eel skinner? Dick sharpener? Dead end street? Crotch cobbler? Quivering quim? South pole? You-know-what? Please sir, let me know which term you prefer.

Maude Lebowski: Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: Uh, is that what this is a picture of?
Maude Lebowski: In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.
The Dude: Oh yeah?
Maude Lebowski: Yes, they don’t like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.
The Dude: Johnson?
