Usage notes
  • It is common for even educated people to be familiar with the back-formed sense of pubes and its singular, pube, while being unaware of the original sense, declension, and etymology. Whereas the original sense occurs mostly in medical English rather than lay English, the newer sense is widely encountered in colloquial speech, though avoided in formal-register lay vocabulary. Thus, although pubes in the sense of pubic hair has two equally valid pronunciations, the monosyllabic /pjuːbz/ is usually intended in everyday written communication.
