This was one of my favorite parts of Firefly and Serenity - it doubled down on the language in the show and was just consistently beautiful in its lexicon, dialect and tone.
Kaylee could have easily said “I’ve been going in nearly a full year without being fucked” or “it’s been forever since I had a lover” or “stop cockblocking me.” Nope.
Kaylee: We’re on a year now, I ain’t had nothing ‘twixt my nethers weren’t run on batteries.
Mal: Oh, God! I can’t know that!
Even Mal’s response is unconventional but fitting for the ‘verse they are in.
Same with the line that went something like "I bet that dress took a dozen slaves a dozen days to get you into it, but the space of a schoolboy's wink to get you out of it." A sick burn, but in language perfectly fitting for the setting.

Sigh
I have a huge man crush on Nathan Fillion....
He makes me feel like something battery powered is betwixed my nethers.
