yesterday i had my archaeology class, and of course as usual it was very interesting. except one thing bothered me.
the theme of the day was how neanderthals were portrayed in magazines and art, such as in the national geographic. my professor had one such picture on the power point screen.
as he started to describe the picture and distinguished to us what was fact and what was fiction, i started drifting off.
until i heard him utter the word "boobies." no. i thought. he did not just say that. moments later, as i was listening intently, i heard him again say "boobies." i gleaned from what he was saying that he was referring to the fact that some people are offended when an artwork portrays a woman displaying her breasts openly.
but instead of saying breasts, or at least boobs, this professor man -aged mid forties- was saying "boobies." i was shocked. and then giggled for the rest of the class as his lecture was peppered with the occasional "boobies."
