Now *this* is useful information I can take with me to the beach. Thanks, @marcas
Not to rip on the 14-year-old we all once were, because pus kinda makes sense, but I truly don't get how or why it's a pussy. And here I sit in my old age

@joelmartinez @dawni Can’t help you there. At the time I learned the term, I had only the very vaguest idea what an *ahem* was. In retrospect, I can see how the term came about (the “pus” thing only makes sense on fairly rare occasions — rips mostly *don’t* look whitish, unless there is a simultaneous strong undertow (which is not the thing that will kill you).
