To ask where this awful word came from?

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Fanjo.
Even my auto-correct doesn't like it. Fan jo.

Twat can be used instead of idiot in Scotland! Shareen nanjiani=fanny.

Grandshire 'in a town not far there,s a Minge Lane'. I live not too far from hackballs cross . Then there's Muff in Co. Donegal

I used to be a Fanjo. Tis a great word (and never fails to make DH stop and go 'WTF' )

guid Scots Tung and all that sort of thing?

To be fair when I met DH, learning Glasweigan was like learning a whole new language. And the speed they talk, I can't keep up with them when we visit his family. Though where we live I have to translate to everyone what he says!

Not a MN origin word - I was using it years before I discovered MN.

Iirc, it was fanjeeta which became fanjo - think it may have been Ali G or someone who coined fanjeeta but not sure.

Just been digging back through the archives, a poster called Enid mentioned fanjo once in 2005 and then introduced it properly in 2006, which is when it took off.

Moist minge is not better. I also prefer Fangita over vulva though.

Thank yo dojo.
Every time I read it, my brain made a kind of fanny-banjo connection.

I absolutely hate it. Have only ever heard it on here and it makes me cringe, it's the worst combination of twee and vulgar at the same time

Is it not a play on the words Fanny and Banjo? So its a Fanny, but you can have as much fun fiddling with it like you would a Banjo?

I am fine with the word on mn, but irl I really struggle to know what to say (not that ot happens often)

It's not Irish. I thought it came from the word fanjita but I don't want to google. Vulva is a horrible word. I like Oprah's word vajayjay.

So what should we use, what's acceptable other than Vulva

I'm confused soldier 'minge and fanny are totally different things'. I've always known them to mean the same- general female genatalia.

I've only know fanjo to be used on here. I have a vague recollection of the first thread but can't remember the specifics.

What about your 'twinkle' or your 'flower' Cordelia

Foof or Front Bum?!

Don't people tend to use different words depending on the situation? In the same way if a man was waving his flaccid penis around I'd call it a willy but I'm a sexual situation be more likely to say something like cock

Definitely not Scottish. It was erm, a fud or foof when I was at school. Think it's still the same but I just call it a 'down below', unless in a medical context in which case I'd be a lot more anatomical.

Fanny has several meanings. .

E.g stop fannying aroon, whit a fanny, fanny ben the hoose will dae it..

I will admit to foofoo. I have no idea where it came from. I had a full and frank discussion with Ds (10) the other day, and referred to my foofoo without batting an eyelid. It was only later I reflected and thought

My problem with the words vagina, vulva and fanny is that they don't roll off the tongue in the right way. Neither does fango. It's too 'twangy' a word.

I don't like the sound of penis, willy, nob or cock. But I do use penis and willy when talking to the dcs. Cock sounds a bit overt to my ears.

Fucking hell. I've turned into a prudy weirdo.

I'm going to embark upon a regime of desensitisation immediately.

Cock cock penis penis penis vulva vagina vulva vagina.

Nope. Not helping. Now I just feel like a tit. I like the word tit though see, it works....... as does boob and boobies.

Oh dear

Yer shareen nanjiani or yer jim delahunt

Fanjo is just another babyish MN word. THE WORD IS VAGINA.

Thank you. And breathe.

I don't have a fan fitted in my vagina so why the fan ? I don't call it Jo so why jo ?

Frankly reading the grown women (on MN, oh wait) use the word fanjo just makes me cringe. It's just another entry in the glossary with all the other crap.
