Popping The Cherry Again
In the event someone actually requires the definition, the phrase “popping the cherry” (at least according to Urban Dictionary) means one of two decidely-related things.
Most generally, it simply means the process of losing one’s virginity. More graphically, however, it can refer to the circumstance (although I’ve applied some copy editing here) in which “a male penetrates a virgin female too fast, and rips or tears the hymen, causing the vagina to bleed slightly.”
It is with those definitions in mind, then, that someone once used the phrase as the subject line of the very first post to the Bandwidth forum on an old system called MindVox (scroll down if you really want to find it), and I myself used it as the title of the very first entry to a now-defunct weblog with which you might, possibly, be familiar.
That particular usage is what I called upon back in November of 2005 when I inaugurated the first incarnation of FURIOUS nads! and it is that usage upon which I call yet again as I inaugurate that site’s reincarnation, swept clean of content and thereby restored to a state of innocent purity, a kind of born-again virgin with a miraculously new and fresh cherry to pop.
No particular meaning should be taken from the sexual nature of both this site’s name and this entry’s title. It is simply that sometimes these necessary coincidences happen.
