Subject: RE: Folklore: Puddin Tane & Other Rhyming Sayings
Interesting thread, Azizi. A few decades ago I first heard the term Putin' tane (that's what it always sounded like to me) used by my African American friends to denote pudendum and always assumed it was a corruption of that word.

"...Grits ain't Groceries,
And Mona Lisa was a man." Was used by Little Milton in his song "Grits ain't Groceries".
