Talk:Pussy

The line

{{Quote

|text="In contemporary English, use of the word pussy to refer to women is considered derogatory or demeaning, treating people as sexual objects.

}}

under "Female Genitalia" could perhaps be clarified and re-worded similarly to the following:

{{Quote

|text="In contemporary English, use of the word pussy to refer to female individuals/women themselves/something similar, as opposed to female genitalia, is generally considered to be derogatory and demeaning."

}}

Upon first reading the line, I misunderstood it as referring to genitalia as opposed to females themselves. Further, I believe some of the wording in the line is awkward/unnecessary.

I was researching the origins of "pussy" as a derogatory name, and came across the word "pusillanimous" which is, according to dictionary.com, synonymous with timorous, fearful, frightened. Was surprised not to see the apparent connection at least mentioned as a possibility here.

please add a link to moggie as another term for cat - perhaps wiktionary?
