clit

Rfv-sense "(slang, vulgar, of a female) To stimulate one's clitoris.". I find:

• 2017, Gemma Stone, The Sessions, Pink Flamingo Media (→ISBN)

  ... he asked me to masturbate while he watched. (...) “Did he let you come when you clitted off?”

• 2010, Nicholson Baker, Room Temperature, Grove/Atlantic, Inc. (→ISBN)

  ... and then fell back on the bed and clitted her yum-stump to a box-spring-deep pelvis-lifter of what Patty called an “organasm”?

Google Search-ing "clitted her" gives two websites, where clit occurs transitively (taking the clitoris (either subject's or other's) as object): [1], [2].__Gamren (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Penises referred to as clits

After discussions of you go, girl! and girl being used of gay men and/or weak boys, I'm reminded that some trans women, some cross-dressers, and some people around them (respectfully in the first case or as part of fetish play in the second) refer to their penises as clits or synonyms thereof. The fact that we include this as a sense when any other word is used (rod, shaft, knob, crank...) speaks in favour of it getting a separate sense. OTOH, in favour of it being only ¿metaphorical? use of the usual sense is the fact that (pan-linguistically) it's part of a spectrum, the other end of which is e.g. one Native American tribe where besides referring to their penises of the trans women by the word for clit, there were rituals where they'd produce things that'd be denoted and buried as stillbirths, etc., i.e. apparently ritually treating the things as actually being stillbirths, clits, etc.
(Finding English examples which are clearly this sense and not references to trans men's or fictional male creatures' clits, or just bad careless writing, is hard, but some examples are at Citations:clit.) - -sche (discuss) 21:44, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

clit

Term of abuse. "You absolute clit"?! Equinox ◑ 22:03, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

It's very much a term of abuse. Similar to calling someone a dumb fucking cunt or stupid fucking twat. 2602:306:CEC2:A3A0:EC20:B692:CA3B:E705 22:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I see some uses of "(you|ya) dumb clit" or "stupid clit" on Twitter. - -sche (discuss) 04:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
