[Query] Another odd question.

[dancefloorlandmine]

Got this query by text on Saturday from a colleague (who was, strangely enough, in the pub):

What is the name for the hair that runs downwards from a man's navel?

I didn't know the answer (or even if there was one, and strangely, didn't fancy doing a websearch for it), so have now lost my crown (well, battered circlet of Cat5). Does anyone else want it? (Someone at work said that Alan Partridge had a term for it, but couldn't remember.)

Linea nigra. It's not unique to men; pregnant women often develop one.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

I have one, and I've never been pregnant.

[painted-bird.livejournal.com]

arg i'm pregnant! ;-)

[velvetfox.livejournal.com]

I thought that meant the slight dark line you get in that place during pregnancy?

"Linea nigra - black line"

Also refers to the growth of hair.

I'm not sure there is a 'proper' word for it. I've heard it called 'snail-trail', 'stairway to heaven' and various other things.

Women get it too, and as far as I'm concerned it's called "a bugger to pluck once a week".

' the happy trail' according to my friend.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Would that be a former landlord friend? [grin]

[thecesspit.livejournal.com]

Nope, a young lady friend...

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

You have young lady friends? [grin] Sorry dude. My bad.

I call it body hair, or more specifically body hair below my navel. I'm pretty sure that's the technical term.

[cookwitch.livejournal.com]

Have you seen Munden's word for it? :)

[cookwitch.livejournal.com]

Meant to add: and very cute it is too.

*kiss*

[mundenlogic.livejournal.com]

Munden does call the Girlie version The picnic path! but that does not apply to me own, which does get called various things all of them unrepeatable ;-) x

Crab Ladder.

[scarlatti.livejournal.com]

"The Royal Road South," according to dougs.

[dougs.livejournal.com]

Ahem.

Also Crab Line apparently!
