How did this word get it's nickname?


Question:
The word "cherry" is a nickname for the hymen.. why? I posted this question before and no one answered it correctly. Explain if you know, please.

Answers:
I would think it comes from the term "popping a cherry"

If you pop.. or squeeze an actual cherry. red juice comes out. And if you take a girls virginity and break the hymen.. she will bleed and therefore produce "red juice"

by means of association, some gross guy, somewhere along the way put the similarity between the two together and it stuck. hope this helped.

Other Answers:
dudes are ******* gross. they made that up

Whern the hymen is torn, a woman bleeds. When a cherry is crushed, it also flows red.

It didn't take much of a leap of imagination to connect the two.


they just call it that because when it pops like a cherry, it looks like cherry juice. pretty gross actually Yeah, what 6000 said.


1236, from Anglo-Fr. cherise (taken as a pl.), from O.N.Fr. cherise, from V.L. *ceresia, from late Gk. kerasian "cherry," from Gk. kerasos "cherry tree," possibly from a language of Asia Minor. O.E. had ciris "cherry" from W.Gmc. form of the V.L. word, but it died out after the Norman invasion and was replaced by the French word. Meaning "maidenhead, virginity" is from 1889, U.S. slang, from supposed resemblance to the hymen, but perhaps also from the long-time use of cherries as a symbol of the fleeting quality of life's pleasures. Cherry-pick, in a pejorative sense, first recorded 1972.


There is blood because the hymen is ripped. The hymen isn't in the vagina, but it's part of the vulva (the external genital organs). It’s located outside the vagina. The hymen is a layer of tissue, just like the tissue around the opening of your vagina that partially conceals the vaginal orifice. and it resembles a bloddy cherry!

IT IS LIKE ALL THE OTHER SLANG WORDS PEOPLE HAVE MADE UP, IT HAS NO MEANING AT ALL ITS JUST A STUPID TERM . YOU KNOW LIKE THE OTHER WORDS USE TO DECRIBE HUMAN PARTS, JUST SLANG
