Flower of courtesy
This is all over LJ like a rash, but in case you haven't seen it yet, I give you:
Etiquette for the Recently Deflowered Girl
A much-needed guide for those awkward moments, with illustrations by Edward Gorey. It came out in 1965 and was never reprinted, for some reason. I love this more than I can say.

EDIT: ...and they've taken it down. Felchwads. I'll repost if I can find where it's gone.
EDIT II: It's back!

It is indeed glorious.

I have an original Gorey on my living room wall. Signed. You should come visit it.

If you put this fact on your LL profile I guarantee you will subsequently have to defend your virtue with a cattle prod.

I fully intend to co-opt "felchwads."

The felchwads are all yours, my friend.

"Felchbuckets" is my other favourite iteration.
