What word do you use for your son's testes?

[FrannyandZooey]

After a brief discussion dp and I can't come up with anything better than testes. Can you?

balls

goolies.

Balls here too

Dp says boolies

Actually i couldn't imagine saying testes lol.

yes you see, we thought that was slightly rude

he is 4, and will probably embark on show and tell, once he realises they have a name all to themselves

oh sorry HUGE cross post

I meant we thought balls was slightly rude

ds's keep referring to them as balls and nuts now, tho i have no idea where they picked it up from

they have always been called noonah's here lol

what is the difference between testes and testicles?

I think we have started to say balls which is not very good. tbh I really want to be able to say the anatomically correct words as it seems silly not to but I just can't bring myself to call a little 2 year old willy (tinkle - for lack of anything better - what we called it as kids) a penis.

testicles and / or balls (so they get playground references)

Why would that not so?

leather sack

Conkers.

though it has only been mentioned once to date (he is 4.5y) and I said "your balls" and he said "my whattt?" so I said "well their proper name is testicles, but most people call them balls". He was happy with that and has never mentioned again.

bollocks

No testes is not a word in my everyday vocab

however it is decriptive

accurate

not possible to misunderstand

and not crude or just far too ludicrous (ie testicles, scrotum)

would you teach a 4 y o to say balls?

plums

no, I talk about balls to the dds if the topic comes up

it has an "icle" in it

I don't know, it just IS ludicrous

sorry

nads is quite a nice one

has he asked Franny? Personally I wouldn't bother unless he asked, ESPECIALLY if he is likely to show and tell - am pmsl at that image.
My ds is apparently getting married to x at pre-school when they are older, then giving her some of his sperm.

I think testicle is fine, probably the word I will use if I'm feeling sensible
