Do you think this bear on a cake looks like its got a vagina?!

[GeorgianaDevonshire]

parents refuse to pay for Christening cake because they think the ornamental bear looks like it has, in MN parlance, a fango.

Daily Mail link.

Love it, Georgiana

I think the point is......no one really cares!

Well they should - I can't believe women in the UK can't name their bits!
Is it considered rude or something?? Sad imo.
We can name men's bits.

yawns

I fucking love the word fadge...

We can name men's bits.

Yes we that is because 'penis and testicles' is slightly easier to grasp (so to speak!) Than vagina, vulva, pudenda, mound of Venus, inner labia, outer labia and so on.

And even with men there is confusion when people say 'testicles' when what they actual mean is scrotum.

Honestly, MN is the only place in the entire universe where this is an issue!

Take cocktail sick, extend seam up bears belly, enjoy cake and christening. Job jobbed.

Unless this is about 'compensayshun' for her ruined christening...... cynical

I would have thought it deliberate if I hadn't seen the boys' cake and another with same marking so would not taken it personally in that case!

there's a fair bit of a complaints/ blame culture, and given the context it wasn't just one cake so seems unintended not rude I'd just smooth it over or continue the line north with a knife.

if I wanted to write an annoying email I'd be more likely to mind the 2 options to buy pastel pink for a girl and powder blue for a boy but I guess people don't like to be too original

I agree with SisterofPercy [:)]
It does look suspect to me and i would have extended the line all the way up the teddy's body myself.
Teddy porn!!

Fanjo. Vulva sounds bleurgh. Even sacred cunt sounds better than vulva.

Misses the point of the thread completely

Surely bear foofs are more hairy

.

to be fair to the OP, the thread title was " do you think the bear looks like it's got a vagina?" Not " Do you think the mark on the bear looks like a vagina?". So she is correct, I.e. if in your opinion the mark looks like a vulva, it would follow that this gives the impression that the bear also has a vagina underneath said beary vulva.

Case dismissed.

Oooh it does rather. Cocktail stick or a knife would have solved the problem a little less hysterically, but I don't suppose that was the aim really.

What do other countries call the lady's area? And how do they solve the vulva/ vagina debate? Maybe there's a word we can shamelessly steal?!

I can't hear vulva which autocorrect wanted to call a volvo without think of Ross Geller 'talking dirty'

I'm amazed that no one has pointed out the missing apostrophe in my title: it's not its! The vulva police have been all over the thread but no sign of the grammar pedants

Bear fanjo or not not the woman should pay for the cake!

Well it could be worse, this is another of their offerings.

As for the lack of apostrophe, I don't think it's missing.

no sign of the grammar pedants - because "its" is correct. "It's" is only used as a contraction for "it is" and never for "belonging to it". And while we're at it "pudenda" is Latin for "things to be ashamed of" and is therefore the most un-Mumsnet word in existence!

tut georgiana - obvs there is no apostrophe in 'its' in this case. And it is punctuation, not grammar......
sadly mct beat me to it....

...or, to avoid the wrath of the extreme wing of the GPA (Grammar and Punctuation Army) "things of which to be ashamed"...

I can just about draw a circle so I wouldn't go as far to complain I'd probably take a pic and send it round for an immature giggle

The OP used "its" as a contraction of "it has" in the phrase: " looks like its got a vagina". This is not a possessive as she is not talking about "its vagina".

I agree with the OP when she says she needs an apostrophe.

lol no clara, it's is only ever a contraction 'it is' - that is the easiest way to remember it.
