dew-drop
n.— «Q. I am a businesswoman, age 35. I have two lovers, and I notice that one of them “leaks” a little fluid, long before he discharges. Could this liquid make me pregnant? A. Yes. The “dew-drop,” as it is often called, can contain sperms. So I really would urge you to practise safe sex—especially as you are taking a bit of a risk by having two lovers.» —“Doctor’s advice—Clueless on clitoris” Jamaica Gleaner (Kingston) Dec. 15, 2007.
