To have still not come up with a suitable name for ladybits after 8 years???

[staylucky]

I am totally U. Not only unreasonable but indesicive and repressed as hell.

Since DD came along 8 years ago have never called bits anything at all, just struggled to find a moniker that doesn't make me cringe or blush. DD isn't too scarred but DS 2.5 has recently become quite aware of his 'waddi' ( he named it so ) and obv the boys have this girls have that convo has come up.

What on earth do I call it?????

yep really.... heard it from some people I went sailing with years ago.

Twee names for the female pudendum make me want to vomit.

Are you serious, Maya? If someone said "lulu" to me I'd have no idea what they're on about.

DP has just informed me it's also called a growler and snatch! ( not to be confused with Lilo and Stich!) Crack also! eurgh!!! Pleasure dome???? Twat???? I'm getting a bit worried about him now!

Flange! Kebab!!! ( or a "dona apparantly (sp?) god! theres no stopping him now!

'Are you serious, Maya? If someone said "lulu" to me I'd have no idea what they're on about'

In context though I think you would, because it's the only body part that we make up names for. You wouldn't think by 'lulu' a little girl was talking about her arm/eye/leg/nose.

But why should you make up a name for it? What earthly reason do you not have to just say "vulva" other than "because it's a bit embarrassing"? Why are you teaching your daughters to be ashamed of their bodies?

I suppose the same reason I say boobs and belly-button and on occasion 'funny bone' or even baby finger/toes. I also sometimes say 'mush' instead of mouth. Tummy instead of stomach.

I'm guilty of using all of them. I also say willy/winky instead of penis though so I'm also teaching my sons to be ashamed of their bodies. Equal opportunites shame in this house.

surely we have the definitive list!

I might post that list in babynames. Personally I'd go with Faloola Twinkle nn lulu.

Ok so if we take the first letter of each of those names we can call it a

"Fbmvvffpctfftpfpnmlfmytfhhhlgspktfdn".

Yellow, you are right, but anthropologically speaking this has clearly been an issue, we 21st century Mners haven't made up these words, they have already been in use for some time.

I don't think that I'm teaching my girls to be ashamed, I think I might even be empowering them to understand that special area is theirs, humans name their possesions. No other part of your body do you get to name for yourself, boys bits universally seem to get called nuts / willy. Mine know the official names and some of the nicer home made names. Who "made up the name "vagina" / "vulva" anyway? a man? I prefer the names given to the area by the mums & grannies..I think girls get to choose. :)

Front bottom just doesn't work for me. For some reason it implies to me 'a bottom which goes at the front' rather than 'the front of a bottom' which gives me a very peculiar mental image.

We use zizi because when we were trying to decide on a word for DD we had a French friend staying with us and apparently that's what they use in France(can anyone confirm?).

I am embarrassed to say that until reading this thread I did not know the correct medical definition of vulva

I don't have a DD, only 2yo DS, but he asked what I had instead of a willy and I said fanjo, so that's what we're sticking with in this house. When we need the real names it'll be penises, testicles, vaginas and vulvas all round. Nowt wrong with nicknames at this age IMO, we say tummy and belly button too.

Iw was on the bus behind some teen girls awhile ago who were talking about weather they shave or wax their 'gash' - Vile, vile, vile

There is always meat wallet and cock pit too

I rather like 'fanois' which was on One Born Every Minute last week.

Minnie is the word in this household, although DH has resorted to yelling "No one wants to see your funnet (with the pronunciation of 'fume' IYSWIM) when DD3 runs around starkers (she's 4 btw).

My friends use Foof, but It makes Me Cringe so much! Dunno why.

When my Mother bought herself a mini car last year, oh how the DC laughed and laughed.

We call it her minky in this house. When I was little it was referred to as my 'bippy' and my chest was my 'beep beeps'!

Mardy, sorry to add to your workload on this particular project, but whilst we have Foofoo and Foofie on the list, I insist that you add just plain ol' Foof to it.

Foof. Foof. Rhymes with hoof. Tis the word used in these parts

Forgot to add my automatic

It's a tuppence innit (or it was until an acquaintance called her child this). Sometimes a foof now

I have a particular dislike fir calling it a vagina

It's like calling a bum a rectum or willy a urethra. It's simply not correct, which in my book is far worse than a twee nickname

Clunge
Flange
Beaver
Kipper
Bearded Clam
Badly packed kebab (for the post-childbirth fanjo)

Ploppy, that gives me hope, as I tend to to say fanj / fanjo without thinking anyway so I bet dd picks up on it.

Ds oth refers to lady's parts, ever since he heard the term "gentle end area"

I think in recognition of all our hard work mnet should put our list to the vote. As part of their let girls be girls campaign. The most popular is then to be used as the definitive until it becomes generic.
