@RegDwigнt quim (vulgar, slang) The female genitalia; the vulva.

Well that I guessed.

I was hoping for enlightenment.

tchrist

quim [kwɪm]. coarse slang.

Etymology: Origin obscure: perh. rel. to queme a. or v.; cf. quaint sb.

1 The female external genital organs; the vagina. An example of 1613 cited in Farmer & Henley’s Dict. Slang has not been traced.

C. 1735 Harlot Un-mask’d (Ballad), - Tho’ her Hands they are red, and her Bubbies are coarse, Her Quim, for all that, may be never the worse.
1796 Grose Dict. Vulgar Tongue (rev. ed.), - Quim, the private parts of a woman: perhaps from the Spanish quemar, to burn.
1846 Swell’s Night Guide (rev. ed.) 57 - Vell, rattle my dice box for a musty quim, but that Sall is…

@RegDwigнt, why exactly would it be off-topic? Besides people have good ideas, a change in orthography (and a bunch of contradicting ones in grammar) have occurred in Portuguese in the last few years. In English that has happened before as well. Why shouldn't you, i.e. the experts, have a say on it? Maybe it will work, maybe not, but I think it'd be an enriching question for SE. What do you say? — JMCF125 2 hours ago

Here's someone who does not realize how frigging tiny that Portugal piece of land is.

And 90% of the people there still don't give a damn.

And the ones in Brazil have never so much as heard of that "Portugal" place.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
but I have become comfortably numb.

tchrist

It’s actually not the camera but the lens.

Cerberus

@tchrist It supposed to be a tiny pun.

As in sharp looking.

tchrist

8:11 PM

If you put that same lens on an another camera, it would till take a sharp picture.

I was wonering that.

Cerberus

Wonering is always pleasant.

tchrist

The lens is a Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor, and the shots are taken with auxiliary flash at f/5.6 at close range.

"Micro" means that it can take images up to 1x magnification.

It’s a regular 35mm sensor, so 24x36 mm or an inch high. So something that were 1" high would fill the entire frame taken horizontally. That's what 1x magnification means, or 1:1.

badass

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

tchrist

It wasn’t taken at that high magnification, obviously, because the kitties’ faces are more than 1" high.
