"The ancient Romans had medical knowledge of the clitoris, and their native word for it was landīca. This appears to have been one of the most obscene words in the entire Latin lexicon. It is alluded to, but does not appear, in literary sources, except in the Priapeia 79, which calls it misella landica, the "poor little clitoris". It does, however, appear in graffiti." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_profanity--91.34.228.166 03:15, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
