On second thought, someone might be talknig about exposing the part of one's anatomy that would prove the most painful if stung by a wasp.
I could definitely think of such a part on my body...

Do you mean from "a" wasp, as in an insect? If so, then click hereto see a picture of a wasp.

A part of a person's body can't really be in danger. Perhaps you mean to say: "Where are you most likely to be stung by a wasp?"

I believe it's a vocabulary exercise, and they're supposed to figure out the meaning of "wasp". (A: skin)
