I did not catch the reference either. Caught my interest as I'm Jewish too. Funny.

I didn't get it either but thought maybe it was foreskin (or lack of) related.

Jewish people partake in Mikveh, or ritual bathing. It is used as a form purity cleanse. Some Jews immense themselves fully. Women and men partake. So...she means she cleans her genitals with the utmost care, and thoroughly is my idea.

That's so interesting to hear from someone who has no idea what the word is! (and I can tell you right now that no one ever got it)

What do you think it's supposed to be?

[–] exatera (3955) 7 years ago

No, it's "exa" and "tera", mathematical prefixes.
