    Thats a little to common sense for the average American.

    I’d wager bees are boys, for bathroom purposes, cause boys have a “stinger”

      Maybe this isn’t in America.

      That said, if it was in the UK, ‘birds’ would be for women, so the result would be the same.

      I think it’s a play on words Bees -> Bs, B stands for Boy. Birds -> British slang for women.

          I mean that if you say “Bees” out loud it sounds like “B’s”, as in the boy’s room.

            I actually got that after I read my own post

            But it did remind me of the joke that Quebec labels the cold water with C for cold and hot water with C for chaud

      Same thought different reasoning: the expression “a bees dick” exists. There’s no equivalent for birds.

        Well, there is the fact that “bird” is itself slang for both penis and woman, though of course in the case of the latter it is antiquated enough to be considered offensive (of course, since as I’m informed the only inoffensive ways to refer to those who identify as belonging to the gender traditionally known as the “not male” gender are “girls” for those under 18 and “women” for those above, the offensiveness of this term is perhaps expected.)
