    And that‘a why a well used razor feels like it does. And based on the amount of hair on a woman’s legs vs a mans face it could explain why the razor feels so much worse after a woman has used it.

    And don't forget the potential cooties infestation.
    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    Well............Oxford dictionary proclaims, it being North American in origin and use

    Dictionary
    coot·ie
    /ˈko͞odē/
    Learn to pronounce
    nouninformal•North American
    plural noun: cooties

    a body louse.
    US
    a children's term for an imaginary germ or repellent quality transmitted by obnoxious or slovenly people.

    Origin
    First World War: perhaps from Malay kutu, denoting a parasitic biting insect.


    Not a serious condition, coincides with time before children's hormones kick in, often when attraction is masked by remark "ewwww, she [or he] has cooties!".
    Just as funny now as ever.

    Thanks. Should not have assumed that it was not in the dictionary.

    Part of richness in language. Many terms aren't in the dictionary, but are in a dictionary, as a regional thing.

    Just Googling it will produce the intended meaning. It's in the Wiktionary as well; you should keep that bookmarked on your browser.
