[Ads-l] groin

[Mark Mandel]

Well, whaddyaknow. According to Merriam-Webster online, it's

1 : the fold or depression marking the juncture of the lower abdomen and
the inner part of the thigh

*also* : the region of this line

(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/groin)

And since we have two thighs, we also have two groins.
