Beating Off The Mammoth: vb, eupehmistic. To satisfy a woman's sexual urges. origin: accidental.

the conversation went something like this... we'd been talking about pheremones and what influences sexual attraction. Apparently Robyn studied phereomones in psych, so i asked her:
me: so can you tell me- someone asked at dinner the other day- why some women get hornier when they have their period than when they're ovulating.
robyn: no!
lauren: that doesn't make much evolutionary sense...
me: well all i could think of was that if you're a woman, particularly a woman who suffers from period pain, you're obviously not going to be in a state to beat off your own mammoth. So you want to be connected with someone who can beat the mammoth off for you.
lauren: *baffled and mildly repulsed look* no... i don't think that works... no, i'm a little disturbed now.
Buzz: well, if you can't protect yourself, you want to manipulate some man into protecting you- evolutionarily speaking.
lauren: OH! you mean actual mammoths? I thought you were making some warped kind of analogy...
apparently John had thought so too. And a new phrase just entered the UCATSA vocabulary.

in a strange sort of co-inkydink, i went for a walk with laura and kate tonight, and we stopped in gleebooks to look at the stuffed animals. One of which was a woolly mammoth.
