Ladies' Facial Shaver Makes me Say "Whoaaa"

This, my friends, is National's Ferie facial shaver for ladies, available on Amazon Japan for around $30 bucks. It's got two interchangeable blades, one for trimming your eyebrows, the other for "downy hair" (as opposed to "uppy hair," I guess.) I don't see anything wrong with a quick pluck, so this is not one for me &mdash although I can think of some alternative uses for it:

1. Tagging TFSU on Jesus's chest while he sleeps.
2. Getting mediaeval on jumper fluff.
3. Trimming my bonsai lawn.
4. Intern Benny!
5. Creating a hair-don't for the dog.
6 @%*& &mdash no, that's just rude. [Impress through Google Translate]

Downy hair as in the soft little see through hairs that all women have on their face and some have too much of.
I would have thought you would know that... maybe never been near enough to a woman to tell?

XANDERBEEDLE, did you just tell Addy that she's not a woman? Dude, that's sooo wrong.

I think option 6 definitely has some validity...
But so does option 1.

@LoganSix: She's more woman than xanderbeedle, that's for sure.

Don't suppose Bonsai lawn a euphemism for something...

I want to know what "jumper fluff" is a euphemism for.

PS When did we start calling all electric razors "shavers" instead of "razors"? I don't know why, but it bugs me. But maybe I'm just a cranky old man...

Well, she's a Brit, so "jumper fluff" would refer to those little fluff balls you get on your sweater. "Sweater fuzz," which I just realized also sounds like a euphemism for something.

Could anybody tell Addy that it's "Feerie" with 2 E ? Ferie means nothing. No, really !
Feerie is "fairy".
@Falconfire: better write "fiancee" also with 2 E, or else it means you're dating a guy (which in itself isn't wrong at all, but if he uses a lady accessory for his shaving, then you have something to get worried about)
It's all french: fiancé is "boyfriend", fiancée is "girlfriend".
