"the elevenses" as in "Got him right in the elevenses!" or "Augh! My elevenses!" - groin shot, often as a random hit location table result.

In Werewolf:tA and a number of other games we played in highschool (Including GURPS I might add), 11 seemed oddly common as the number for "groin" on random number hit location table. W:tA designers didn't get the probability curves they were designing with, so kept coming up disturbingly often.

We had one PC castrated by a direct hit to the elevenses, and another take a W:tA Battle Scar to the elevenses (also castration)... after being decapitated and growing his head back in combat like that alien from Men in Black. Because the rules said to roll, and we were in highschool.
