Bingley says it refers to female pudendal area, the groin. He wanted to avoid offending the ladies. I hope he will not feel I have betrayed his confidence.

or you could stand with your back to the fireplace, and as we used to tease, Warm the (w)hole of your body!

and my da would alway insist upon asking any one who annoucnced "i have just come from the bathroom." (or any similar phrase. and it surprizing how often people feel compelled to announce it! ) "Did everything come out all right?" -- them that were flustered, and didn't know what to say, were in for more ribbing..

Oh mercy!!
Dr. Bill, this may have been before your time, but I, I, couldn't stand it when people began talking about their...um...what they had on under their clothes. Yikes.
