May I suggest DM undergo the cotton-bud-in-the-japs-eye test simultaneously with a prostate exam, whilst fourteen med students with clipboards and rubber gloves look on and he is told to ‘just relax’ on a paper sheet with his ankles behind his head and a bright light shining on his nether regions? Just for comparison’s sake?
As you can tell from my name, I am a qualified gynaecologist (though since the BMA hearing I am no longer allowed to practice). So as an expert in this subject, may I commend DM for his insight – after all we don’t want the ladies’ lovely fluffy brains to get all confused by complicated medical terminology only we men understand, do we?

‘Smear Test’ is not off-putting. Having a giant, cold piece of metal shoved up your Jemima Puddleduck which is then opened up even further whilst someone stares straight up your tunnel of love whilst scraping your cervix with a big lollystick for what seems like hours IS, however, very off-putting.
Is it too early to make some sort of Jade Goody reference re: renaming it? Is it? IS it? We’re all thinking it.

I like DM’s apparent belief that checking a woman’s cervix for abnormal cells is somehow the same as a “general” health check. (Or “female check” which sounds slightly as though the NHS feels the need to ascertain that we’re all still women at three-yearly intervals.) I am neither a man nor a Ceefax contributor but I am fairly sure that human bodies can go wrong in quite a lot of ways.

What are the intervals between general female checks?

The “Goody Look”…?
Or perhaps the “Jade-Splayed Goody Look”…?

Dr Shade – trust a real medical expert to come up with a proper term for an unpleasant but necessary check-up! Next time the local surgery send me a reminder for my annual Goody Look, I shall fair skip along to the Nurse Practitioner, beaming with the anticipation of all that indignity and pain just because the procedure has a catchy moniker. Put a few Hello Kitty stickers on the envelope and my day will be complete (you know what we ladies are like)!
Perhaps we should adopt sleb-tastic names for all sorts of unpleasant medical examinations: how about ‘Beckham’s Brown Glove Time’ for prostrate checks?

How about calling the test’Going anywhere interesting after this’ (The Embarrassing Chat) Test. Can only be done when a stranger is nose up close to your cha-cha. And it’s got to be a nurse or doctor stranger to qualify. Or I suppose a strange nurse or a strange doctor if you are unlucky.

I’m sure it’s not as horrible as it sounds
Not horrible at all, I quite look forward to them.

I am neither a woman nor a doctor, and have never even seen a cervix before it has been skinned and roasted, but I’m fairly sure that it should be pretty easy to catch the buggers before they try and climb up women’s mimsies.

Having just checked google, I wish to retract my previous comment. However, I am still at a loss as to why checking the tailbone for cancer should be an especially uncomfortable feminine pursuit.

Hot for the “Goody look”. Well, not the *actual* Goody look. But as a term, it is king.

It’s not technically a scrape of the cunt, though – it’s a scrape of the cervix. ‘Goody look’ is the clear winner.

How about the ‘Mimsy MOT’? Perhaps KwikFit can start doing a 2-for-one annual service+cervix. They could give you a ‘Goody look’ while you wait for them to kick the tyres / change the oil on the Ka.

You’ve raised a very good question there? At what point does the Cunt stop?
In the case of our old friend Mr Topsyturvey, the answer is never.

At what point does the Cunt stop?
It starts at the cervix and ends at the top of the pubic bone. Fact!

What makes this pile of shite even worse is that the cuntbubble who wrote it also wrote the same letter, word for word, to Write On, ITV Teletexts equivalent of Dear Ceefax.

Steve, I’d like to thank you for the word “cuntbubble” which, unlike “cunt”, I am more than happy to apply to rubbish human beings. Um, not in any literal sense. Not to rubbish people, anyway.
I worked in a pub in a very insular area of Liverpool where one of the locals was convinced that the smear test comprised a long glass rod, much like a bannister. Apparently, this stalwart of pub knowledge described a system where women would undress and slide down said bannister, leaving a “snail trail” which would then be examined by gynaecologists. I’m sure this would have been as horrible an experience as it sounds.
He is wrong, it is exactly as horrible as it sounds.
I don’t want to be asked in for a general female check. It sounds like an elaborate pretext for an all-purpose medical grope.

I thought they were already doing what DM suggests by not calling it a “Knees Akimbo Cold Jelly Vaginal Shove Cervix Yank-Scratch Shame-o-rama.”
Can I cast my vote for calling it the “Magic Funpants Test”…?
I prefer http://www.seefacks.co.uk for this kind of nonsense.

they’ve been calling them ‘cervical screen’ tests these days – probably for that exact reason.
Smear test;
I’m imagining a random spot test on buttering up toasted crumpets.
