Equivalent term for female excitement

When excited, men gate a 'hard on'. What is the equivalent colloquial term for women getting excited? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.76.158.77 (talk) 02:46, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still use wide-on as i did when this q was last asked at the ref desk a coupla years back. Nanonic (talk) 14:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear about this; does 'wide on' mean the vagina is opening up?

Well Im looking for answers from women really as they know what they call it. I dont need answers from men who are only guessing. Thanks--79.76.202.169 (talk) 01:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Women are prim proper dainty little flowers and do not discuss such things. --Nricardo (talk) 04:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, no man can know such arcane lore, because they are busy changing light bulbs and not discussing their emotions. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 09:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what languiage is this, i don't need translation just to know language:

My juhtus? Helipea juhtus. Helipea juhtus. Kui olete viimasel ajal emofoorumis silmad lahti hoidnud, olete ehk märganud, et käis teema uue nime, foorumisüsteemi ja muu sellise ümber.

Well, you seem to have mistranscribed parts (such as the first word); but if you're referring to the material on this site, it appears to be Estonian. Deor (talk)

I don't understand it, but yes, it's Estonian. The giveaway is õ, which is primarily used in Estonian. Its absence would make me also suspect Finnish. Other giveaways are lots of doubled letters, ös, üs and äs, and hs before ps, ts and ks. Steewi (talk) 00:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The use of "ü" rather than "y" and the use of "d" in word-final position also show that it's Estonian and not Finnish. —An gr 06:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are online tools which can help with language identification, like the TextCat Language Guesser, which correctly (I gather) identifies this as Estonian. -- BenRG (talk) 11:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
