Oddly, you rarely use loin in the singular, when talking about human beings. You can't say "Child of my loin," for instance. People will look at you askance, as though you've just confessed to only having one testicle. Tarzan wears a loincloth (as does Ben in some of his pics) to cover his loins, not his loin. just wanted to share.

True. But when we buy meat, it’s a tender loin. I wonder why that is?

I know you're only here out of pity, but I don't care. I'm so devastated by Horatio's parody thread getting more responses than my "best film" thread that I just want to end it all!

Please don’t! We need your pro prose!

Oh come on, Bentz! Don't be such a martyr! I'm sure some of the kind folks here could give you plenty of better reasons for you to off yourself.

Only when one says loincloth (the word comes up a few times a week in my circles), but then it's a different word so I guess that doesn't count.

If you said loinscloth you would be more correct in terms of usage, but people would still look at you funnily. It's like saying "you can see his buttcracks."
