  13.     In recent years I've encountered a growing contingent who 
  14.     insist that the feminine equivalent of "balls" should be "eggs".

  16. Really? Since young women carry about 400 of the little rascals around
  17. with them in one stage or another (my ObGyn knowledge is pretty rusty),
  18. it would seem that "eggs" would not be appropriate. To confuse things
  19. a bit, in slang Spanish "balls" are called "uovos", eggs.
