English term or phrase: "CROTCH"
Chief of the Naval Criminal investigations ..... Murphy calles her "crotch" due to her unpleasant personality

Devo trovare un sinonimo non troppo volgare per CROTCH, l'unica parola che mi viene in mente è "Cavallo" che intende cavallo dei pantaloni/zona inguinale.... qualche idea?
grazie
