Is there a word for a part of the body where one cannot scratch in public?

 

[Ruthanne]

I use my back scratcher to itch my acnestis.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Both dear husband and I have refined our acnestis scratching method thanks to the doorway between the office and hallway. That's right, we move side-to-side with our backs up against the doorjamb to relieve that cant reach to scratch, pesky itch!

I sometimes do that too! Great minds......!

 

[Aunt Marg]

I use my back scratcher to itch my acnestis.

We have one of those, too, Ruthanne!

 

[Kaila]

Why is it that we all have acnestis, or multiple acnestises
(is the plural the same as the singular? )

But we didn't ever hear of the word, or know that we had them all along.?

 

[Kaila]

In the future, now that we are informed of this,
if someone asks you if you have an acnestis,
don't say no, as you previously would have;
rather say, Yes, but you cannot borrow it.

[Ruthanne]

I don't know, never met an itchy bear in the woods!

 

[Pappy]

I had a acnestis when I was a teenager, but some special creams cleared it up.
Oh, wrong word.

We live in a rural area and I think most of the local cattle must have Acnestis
I often see them rubbing their shoulders or chest across a wooden fence post
