(Adult / Slang)

Shakespearean pun for the vagina, based on pronouncing the first syllable CUNT instead of CONS, as in cunt-ste-bill. This pun is still widely recognized today. The euphemistic version was thingstable in which the offensive first syllable CUNT was replaced by THING, another euphemism for the word vagina. See vagina for synonyms.

Quote: William Shakespeare. Alls Well That Ends Well (1602):
-- Countess: ' Have you, I say, an answer of such fitness for all questions? '
-- Clown: ' From beneath your duke to beneath your constable, it will fit any question.'
-- Countess: ' It must be an answer of most monstrous size that must fit all demands.'
