This reminds me of the time a suitemate of mine dyed her public hair neon green and didn't tell her girlfriend. You could hear the screaming down the hall.
When I first encountered the word 'pubic', I read an l into it and pronounced it 'public'. At first I was clueless as to what the writer was talking about. Then when I did learn where public hair was, I couldn't figure out why they would call it 'public'.
