Well, I surely never heard of "pearltongue" or "purrtongue"; I guess I
haven't been getting out enough. I presume "pearltongue" to be primary. I
have heard "pearl diving" ( = "muff diving"), but I never knew what the
pearl was. Jonathon Green's dictionary says the pearl is ... y'all guessed it.
Google does provide a few instances of "pearltongue" = "clitoris",
supposedly a 'chiefly black' word.
Note also French "languette" = "clitoris", which appears in Farmer's
"Vocabula Amatoria", etc.
Also note the charming "budgie's tongue" in the same sense ("budgie" =
"budgerigar" = "parrakeet"). I don't recall ever hearing this myself.
Any connection between "pearltongue" and "poontang"?
