Canada/US sense for tyre mark is confusing me
I thought they spelled it (and it's there too). Is this spelling also used? Equinox ◑ 23:40, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Slang for vulva. Of the two citations, the 2012 ("basically the in and the out, the hot dog splicing through the doughnut") seems to be making a metaphorical comparison (this is like this) rather than a true sense of the word; the 2014 seems nonsensical and of unclear meaning at best (it's part of a nonsense poem).

 * Green's has an entry for this sense with 5 cites. They range from 1859 to 1935, so I'm guessing they're not of a piece with the current cites, which, as you say, might just be ad-hoc metaphors. I suppose lifting cites directly from Green's is not on, but they might at least provide some indication for where to look. Colin M (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Not cited! Two of those cites are for "doughnut dollies", completely unrelated to vulva. Why did you think this could mean vulva? "Vulva dollies"? See link : "American service men in England during World War II called American Red Cross girls Doughnut Dollies. It was a warm and affectionate term designed to show the soldiers' appreciation for the morale-building efforts of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross girls operated clubmobiles which were driven to air bases where the girls served fresh doughnuts,..." Equinox ◑ 06:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The 1994 cite is pretty spurious too, seems to mean "virginity" rather than "vulva"... BigDom 11:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok, now it is cited. Kiwima (talk) 23:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
