Poll: What's your favorite word for....
Condoms?
DH loves to use "dong bags", and now I do too.
What do you and your DH/friends say?
Re: Poll: What's your favorite word for....
We have no special name but I thought I'd look some up to see if it triggered something and came across my new favorite:

One of my friends in college used to call them rocket pockets. It was also popular to call them jimmies but not as much fun. When I lived out east, it always bothered me that people used to call ice cream sprinkles jimmies for this reason.

I was curious, so I went and asked Mr Google. I had no idea about the second answer. No idea at all.
Here are couple answers:
Feldman did a lot of research on this and finally discovered the answer at the "Just Born" factory. Jimmies were invented by the Just Born company in 1930. Samuel Born was a Russian immigrant who invented the machine that inserted sticks in lollipops, the machine that coats chocolate on ice cream and the extruder that makes Easter "peeps." Jimmies were invented at the Just Born factory and named after an employee, Jimmy Bartholomew, who worked the chocolate pellet machine. Jimmies used to be offered for free at ice cream parlors. The "Just Born" company no longer manufactures jimmies. Feldman says "jimmies" tends to be a word used in the northeastern part of the United States, while "sprinkles" is used in other parts of the country.

I read that was an urban legend. It's on Snopes.

I'm glad its an urban legend. I was thinking about it and the chocolate ones are jimmies and the rainbow ones are sprinkles. Its just what they were always called growing up, never had any reason to think there even might be a negative connotation with the name.
And yes, I did grow up within the 200 mile radius of Boston mentioned on Snopes.
