    Yo! We're making some resources for players that are looking to learn new Pill tricks, and in doing so we need to more properly define the names of many Pill-related things. We always love community feedback, so we're looking for the opinion of any pill players out there who are interested in helping out!

    So: what do you call the two halves? Spike? Ken? Tama? Top? Bottom? Male? Female? Vote and comment below!
    If you use a name not listed here, please tell us! Open to suggestions

    I was trying to think of something clever but it just gets way too abstract. Spike and Hole I guess.

    I feel like DS can do better though.

    pike/pole, stabber/stabee, pointy/not pointy, chip/dip, screw/washer. I dunno man, like @Cheech_Sander said, it's hard not to be really obscure or dirty

    I had not heard it before I saw it on the poll, but I like Bell for the hole half.

    "spike/bottom" and "top" make the most sense to me

    It doesn't make sense, but it sounds so strangely right.

    pointy/not pointy made me laugh so hard for some reason. Hysterical.

    I like Spike and Top, or Spike and Bell.
