Thanks for mentioning it.  I have never heard it called that before.

If you go out to YouTube there should be a clip from Bridemaids.  That is one of the all time funny lines.  She nailed the character.

@Islandqueen1  There is a six-month waiting period between the first and second shingles shots. Be sure to consult with your PCP!

You shouldn't have the second shot "within a few weeks" for maximum coverage and for insurance to pay.

The time between the shots should be more than 2 months and less than 6 months.  If you go over 6 months you have to start again.

@Bri369  Lordy, 60+ years ago my grandmother called it "privates" and we grinned (later) about her prudish terminology! Mom taught us to call body parts by their names to avoid embarrassment. In turn, we taught our children and grandchildren the correct words to use. 

"Undercarriage" was certainly a new fangled term that sounded like the underside of a vehicle. All I could picture was a lot of hard steel and street grime. Not very attractive. It didn't fit anywhere with a human body to me!

@Still Raining  You are absolutely correct! It's been about 15 months since I had both my shots and I had forgotten about that 6-month time limit on them. Thanks for the correction.
