'Armpit Vagina': The new body part you could be shamed for

What happens when you get dressed in one of your elaborate gowns/fancy dresses all set to step out and conquer the world, feeling beautiful as an ethereal princess and people--they shift their focus from your beauty to a part of your body you probably didn't even know existed and start shaming you on that?

The shamers in question? The paparazzi, some fashion stylists, and self-procalimed fashion Nazis. The body part in question? Wait for it-'armpit vagina'!

No, it's not a term for your vagina magically moving upwards and becomes a part of your arm or your arm falling down there (thak god!). It is actually a body part you always had but was probably never aware of.

The Urban Dictionary defines it as "That fold of skin where a woman's arm joins her torso. Can be present even in relatively fit women."

I'm going to unveil a screenshot of the definition right away, but let me just warn you that it might dilute your love for Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence since the dictionary holds her responsible for coining the term in 2014.

As if we women didn't have our quota of body-shaming in life already. From our features to our hair to the size of our bust, waist, thighs, feet, fingers-basically anything and everything that's a visible part of our body is vulnerable to criticism.

Unfortunately, many actresses have been critcised for the same and have said to been facing insecurities about their 'armpit vagina', which might be visible in strapless/ sleeveless outfits.

According to popular Hollywood stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, 'armpit vagina' is one of the most common anxieties her female celebrity clients have.

"Sometimes it's the weirdest part of their body. They say: 'I've got this horrible blah-blah', and you think 'What are they even talking about?" she told The Times.

"The one that comes up all the time is the arm vagina," she added.

What next now? Are people going to start shaming our skeletons/ bone structure from X-Ray reports?
