It's Latin for 'adult' --not as in 'adult entertainment' which is for teenagers and stunted manboys, but as in grown-up, having arrived through the Pubic Gates. Hmm, no, make that the Gates of Puberty.
But pubes (with both vowels long) is also the Latin word for both the groin area and all that hair that marks your passage through those Gates--yes, even the beard on our Bearded Leader, Beardy McBeardface. Do bears have beards?
Only boy bears in bars.
On the next Toor we tackle the question of why menstrual has men in it.
It has the word MEN in it because MEN invented the term
