Having three older brothers kept me in all the lastest, hip, slang words...mostly filthy. I over heard them talking about a pretty, jr high girl and they were saying how horny she looked. I assumed "horny" meant "pretty" or nice looking. I was 9 yrs old. My parents were having a dinner party and I was included to properly set the dining table, with our finest china, silver, crystal and serving items. It had a beautiful floral centerpiece. I was also expected to display my proper table manners, best etiquette and protocol. The guests were Mr. & Mrs. Hightower, Mr. & Mrs. Hardin, Mr. & Mrs. Knowle and My parents, Mr & Mrs. M.
Everything was perfect. Lively conversation, congenial behavior...polite society. I performed beautifully, also being seen and not heard. I felt I should say something. I addressed Mrs. Knowle, a buxom, matronly lady with kind radiation. "Mrs. Knowle, you look really horny this evening"...utter silence, shock...then a burst of uncontrollable, unanimous, hysterical laughter. Mr. Knowle got caught with a mouth full of red wine that went spewing everywhere. Then composure, then rib-spliting all over again. The thing had serious hang-time. Later, I was told to never say horny again. I asked why? What does it mean?... How do you define "horny" to a 9-year old girl?
This story was talked of last evening. My Father brought it up. I still can't define "horny", but I do know what it means.
