weenus

weenus
 n.— «Equipment in women’s sizes can sometimes be harder to come by. Some women use newer forms of birth control to make their periods less frequent. Even urinating can become a problem. The military has disbursed portable contraptions the women affectionately call a weenus, for use on long truck drives.» —“Jane, We Hardly Knew Ye Died” by Lizette Alvarez New York Times Sept. 24, 2006.
