Referrence^([sic]) materials on hand at the moment, in all their general glory, would seem to point to either term being acceptable in casual conversation....as well as bring to mind hurried, husky whispers of "Push my choad."
Massaging a circle around Dennis's back, Greg said, "Everybody has four potential e-zones -- his nips, his balls, his butthole, his choad."
"What's a choad?"
Greg's pressed between Dennis's legs, and Dennis gasped, "Oh yeah, there."
For the ladies, studies indicate that massaging the perineum with warm olive oil toward the end of the third trimester can reduce tearing and the need for an episiotomy. And yes, I'm referring to the pregnancy trimester, not the trimester where your proposal to major in "choad measuring" was declined by the biology department, the narrow-minded fools.

gloss: A pastoral poem, often in the form of a shepherd's monologue or a dialogue between shepherds.
pos: noun
examples: The voice of congratulation and flattery was not, however, silent; and we may still peruse, with pleasure and contempt, an eclogue, which was composed on the accession of the emperor Carus. Two shepherds, avoiding the noontide heat, retire into the cave of Faunus.
Only one laborer in this temple of Minerva, however, was known to get so far as to attempt a translation of Virgil. He[…] repeated the whole of the first eclogue from memory, observing the intonations of the dialogue with much judgment and effect.
"Every body now is making what they call portraits of themselves and of their friends. Pastoral phrases are called into requisition; and under some name just stepped out of an eclogue, our dames and cavaliers flatter themselves and their friends, and are tant soit peu maligne."
Sometimes they marked the form of the silk-haired and graceful capella, with its wreathing horn and bright grey eye—which, still beneath Ausonian skies, recalls the eclogues of Maro, browsing half-way up the hills; and the grapes, already purple with the smiles of the deepening summer, glowed out from the arched festoons, which hung pendent from tree to tree.

If one fixates at length on a pale blue-green stimulus, as in Figure 18, and then refixates on an already maximally saturated orange surface, then the resituated f/p vector will yield an activation triplet within the farthest corner of the cube, beyond the limits of the classical spindle. The H–J theory of our internal color representations entails that one should there find a circular after-image of a hyperbolic orange, an orange that is more "ostentatiously orange" than any (non-self-luminous) orange you have ever seen, or ever will see, as the objective color of a physical object. Row 1 of Figure 19 will allow you, once more, to test such a prediction for yourself.
