front bottom, vaj, fanny or c**t?

[readinginbed]

Front bottom: too twee
fanny, vaj, all the rest: too sexual
vagina, vulva: NO WAY, TOO TEXT BOOK

What's the happy medium?

FallenMadonna, I like how your dd gets straight to the point .

We did call in vagina but then DS said to IL's when having dinner and eating a pig roast -' I bet that pig has a really big stinky vagina'. DH who wasnt convinced to call it vagina gave me some glares that could have easily killed me...

We now call it V or miff miff

We tried to have vulvas in our house but we seem to have ended up with Volvos.

It's a tricky thing to correct a little person's pronunciation when they're talking about something so sensitive.

I think if the whole family are comfortable enough with their word of choice to talk about it, then that's the main thing.

I grew up with "tuppence" and every Christmas I thought Mary Poppins was a dirty b*tch.

I don't like calling it a vagina.

I cringe when I hear people talking about shaving their vaginas - what your vagina has hair?

It's a vulva surely.

However there's something so much more satisfying about an anglo saxon word. I do quite like fanny but it could cause problems in America.

You have to be careful with the word 'vagina'. It's not just my DD who is concerned with function, and for small children weeing is more significant than sex/childbirth. Which is I think why quite a lot of my secondary school pupils think they wee out of their vagina

Random, but I know a 3yr old with a 'doodle'. Always makes me laugh now when we see Mr Maker off to the doodle-drawers!

I'm using girl bits and boy bits for time being

Howdidthishappenthen - just saw your message. Doodle means penis in Farsi (Persian/Iranian)! So not so random after all!

fanny here for dd. I am that mnetters says this is rude.

We have bits for girls and willy for boys, although my DDs have recently started referring to their clitoris as their 'dead slugs' .

Are we the only family that have 'private parts' or is that horribly Victorian of us?

I did try to get DD to call it a vulva but it just never caught on

I seem to remember vagina is a roman word for the sheath for a sword. Roman males must have had big egos!

Go medieval. Cunny or Quinny.

We also use 'private parts', it covers boys and girls. But they do know proper names

Its 'bits' in our house too AandO - girl bits & boy bits. Came from my sister and her kids I think

Just me with 'flubey', then.

I have no idea from whence that came. NO IDEA. DD can't really talk yet, so I still have a chance to come up with some better.

I think I called mine a 'Minnie/Mini' when growing up. Was never sure if it the context was Mouse or Cooper.

We've been calling it a fanjo but DD is only 16m at the mo so not had to really think too much about it. Really hatell the frilly names and not keen on true biological terms.

Do like the jardin des femmes suggestion, although with her grandparents en France, could be a bit embarrassing for my prudish mum for later visits!

Roman is quinny? Like the pushchair ?!

Sorry medieval not Roman! Getting my eras slightly confused!!

it's frontie here

Mine is a boodle. My gran came up with it when my mum was small. We don't know the thought process behind that one.

I always remember watching '101 Dalmatians' as a child and one of the baddies saying "show us yer boodle!" The look on my brothers' faces was priceless.

Boys in our family had willies, but the technical term was a Willy Waddle. When I went to school with a boy by that name I couldn't understand why nobody else found it funny.

In a moment of madness when DS then aged 4, asked me what I had instead of a willy, I said a hole!! What on earth possessed me to say that I will NEVER know.

I have, however, NEVER used that again and have informed DS that you must not refer to a girl's bits as a hole

He has a willy or penis and peanuts. I detest the word balls and I cannot get myself to use vulva despite knowing that that is what a girl's front bits and pieces are collectively called.

I think fanny is perfectly acceptable, however.

I would not recommend beef curtains, though (but I did fall of my chair laughing at that )

I'm sneak reading this at work and have had severe shoulder shaking and snortling!

Boys - willy and balls
Girls - Lady bits

Fou fou (or foo foo?). Otherwise it would have be vagina. Front bottom annoys me not only because it's twee but also for feminist reasons - boys can have a bottom and a willy but girls just have two bottoms and no genitals at all?!

Min

Sometimes "minola" in certain contexts "Have you wiped your minola?"

DD said to us there was something in her min the other day, bless she meant her clitoris. DH said seriously "that's your pip", this is all so confusing

I grew up saying 'mooey' with my friends (when we were really young and I have no idea why!)

I think I'm going to automatically end up saying that with dd when she is born later this year and is older!

My 2 ds bits are just usually either willies or winkies.....
