Tsuwm's wwftd is "bathycolpian". I think it could mean "requiring a long colposcope. YCLIU.
Or I could tell you it is a medical optical endoscope for viewing the depths of the promised land.
If you are not easily offended, search for "hematocolpos". Don't say I didn't warn you.

Not really offensive, just a little gross to think about. Many medical conditions are.

this leads to a puzzling aside: Greek has/had one word (anglicized as kolpos) which seems to have been used variously for bosom, vagina, and womb (generally, fold).

Maybe the genuine original meaning of that Greek word "kolpos" is: Any of those female parts by which men are alternately fascinated and terrified.

"...men are alternately fascinated and terrified."
I'm afraid to ask about this statement, yet still intrigued.
