Revel in it, because, quite frankly, it's a lot more important than length, and if you have too much of that it can result in damage ...

Back east, I grew up defining "chode" exactly as Mr. Lin does. However, upon my Western migration, I began to meet people who said that "chode" was a alternate definition for "taint", the fleshy fun bridge between arse and testes.

This to me, is insanity, why give an extra name to something with a fine name already, especially when penis that are equally wide as long, don't have a special name? But this argument continues to happen, with friends from Montana, Denver, California, even Seattle.

According to urbandictionary.com, the main two definitions of "chode" (not choad however) represent these main two parties which in my mind are in complete civil war with each other, one much more important than any previous civil war before, the slavery one or the gangsta rap one.

Even though I believe this cover story settles the debate once in for all, my Western friends disagree. It would be nice to put it to rest. For the Union.

??!!urbandictionary: sucking ass since day one.

oh, goodie; only 24 more hours until the new Stranger comes out and they can stop crawling up Tao Lin's derivitive ass and focus their attention on someone else's ass, or choad, or taint if you prefer...

I have no idea what this cho-ad business is.

Speaking of Urban Dictionary, check out the history of the word "Skeet". Hilarious.

I don't know if it was where she was going with this, but the Marco Polo reference reminded me of a quote from Rules of Attraction:

If I can't make a girl come, then why bother? It's like asking questions in a letter.

If I saw a penis wider than it was long (we're talking diameter, not circumference, correct?) I would politely excuse myself and leave. Gross.

I believe that was the narrator of the book, not Kilgore.

And for the record, the term to describe the similar spot of skin on a woman is scrum.

For those who wish it meant taint: 1. Taint already exists to mean taint, and 2. Choad/Chode is clearly descriptive of an object or thing, not a location. Seriously.

And scrum, for the record, is already a word that denotes a rugby melee, and has nothing whatsoever to do with woman's body. How crude.

sidenote: as a back row involved in a Scrum, I have had to be in contact with another man's Chode (both kinds, in fact)

I have no idea what this means.

CHOADERIN'!!!!!!

and it's 'mohel', will in seattle. i'm smarter than you.

Choad is the perfect term for a short, fat penis. It sounds like toad, which is evocative of the shape and describes how most people feel when they find one - grossed out, but also morbidly intrigued.

Taint, on the other hand, is a serviceable term for the perineum. It has an amusing (and apocryphal) etymological story - "'Tain't his balls and 'tain't his ass." It also suggests a stain or a contamination, which should be familiar to all you back-to-front wipers.

It's that it's eight inches long.

I think you're right.
