Ho! que bollo!

IdiomaticCrassForeignPhraseFilter: Camel Toe. I'm looking to compile a list of phrases used in foreign countries to describe what is known in the US as a Camel Toe. [First link NSFW, second is safe for radio, but contains sophomoric YouTube audio/video]. Can you help?
Here in Venezuela, it's known as a "bollo", which translates literally to a sweet bun -- you know, the pastry kind. This is a word that only men use in a non-pastry context, which seems kind of strange, considering that having un buen bollo seems to be a very popular fashion statement here.
So, Let's hear 'em.

a wendy (australian)
Great, and now we need the story behind this. Who's Wendy?! That must've been some wardrobe.

Related but I just heard the term last night and I cracked up -- apparently the male equivalent of Camel Toe is called "Moose Knuckle." Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think "wendy" just refers to the "w" shape of a camel toe.

I've never heard of a "wendy" and I'm a red-blooded teenaged Australian male! Maybe it's a Northerner thing. ;-)

A Mumbler. I can see the lips move, but can't tell what she's saying.

Yeah, considering the amount of people I see sporting them, it's no surprise people don't even know what they're called. But it makes it fun when you're out and about: you can whisper to your friends: "wendy in tangerine. 3 O'Clock" and not have to worry that if someone hears you they'll take offense.

Best answer: Posting very very late to this thread (was searching for something else), but I'd like to point out that the crowning achievement in cameltoedom was Julie Andrews in "10" with Dudley Moore. Yes, THAT Julie Andrews. And the pants were leather, no less. It was the deepest camel toe I've ever seen. Guess she was trying to shake that squeaky clean Sound of Music image. Jesus, it was deep.
