And "the little death" is a metaphor for "orgasm"

And kumquats are rather like little oranges...

Are kumquats symbols for orgasms?

Discuss.

Status: offline 		Sure, why not. I always thought "kumquat" should have been a dirty word anyway. think about it...Jesus, Frank, don't be such a kumquat!

It just sounds dirty and related somehow to cunts. And it does have the word "kum" in it.

I'm with you on this one Sunny.

Pssst...your link seems to be broken. Is this the site you meant?

For some reason, I thought pomegranate (sp?) were symbolic of death.

Though along this line of thought, bones are thought as a symbol of death, and male erections are called 'boners'.

La pitite morte is a phrase to invoke that one has 'gone over the edge', that one has entered into an otherworldly level of bliss.

You can't just mix and match cultural terms of phrase and symbolisms.

Pick a language and i won't be able to spell in it either.

Status: offline 		I wanted to have a discussion
About a magical fruit.
So I asked the goofballs at PRS
to talk about this food.

The kumquat's familiar
It's squishy and it's sweet.
You pop it in with rind
so simple and so neat.

So now we hear from far and near
The kumquat's nature's treat.
But did you know that when you crow
There's rind between your teeth?

That's where I made the connection between death and Pomegranates! I couldn't quite recall the exact mythology, but knew there was one!
