- benbristow 6y agoGash is a slang term for the female sexual organ. Not a good name for a project.

Peach, purse, shaft, sheath, tool, pocket, etc, these are all slang as well, yet we still use these for their original meaning. It's all about context. I'd also say 'gash' is quite regional. I've only ever heard it used in the U.K.
