The title text invokes the fact that many people incorrectly use the word "{{w|vagina}}", which refers to an internal structure, for the {{w|vulva}}, which is the external portion of the female genitals. Meanwhile the {{w|viola}} is an instrument often mistaken for a {{w|violin}}. And the word "viola" shares common letters with "vulva." Mixing pedantic terms like this was also used in [[1405: Meteor]]. | The title text invokes the fact that many people incorrectly use the word "{{w|vagina}}", which refers to an internal structure, for the {{w|vulva}}, which is the external portion of the female genitals.

It possible that pie charts were included because this comic was released on {{w|Pi Day}}. Randall has shown fascination with Pi in earlier comics like [[1292: Pi vs. Tau]]. On the other hand, it could be a reference to the film {{w|American Pie (film)|American Pie}}, which states that putting a finger in a pie feels like putting it inside a {{w|Vagina|Violin}}... It could of course be both reasons, or none of them... | It possible that pie charts were included because this comic was released on {{w|Pi Day}}.
