I am wondering what to call my DS's privates. I know some people call them 'chucky's' but I don't really like that.

What do you call it when you are talking to your DS?

Penis does the trick. And balls.

Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself.

Are you wondering what to call his arms or his lips? Kissy Loo Laas maybe? Why wouldn't you just say penis. And actually willy is pretty generally accepted as slang. Use a term we share. The beauty of language, we can name things and share semantics.

Anyway must go. Need to put some cream on my sore hands dangly grabbers.

Interested in this thread?

Some people call them Chuckies?!? Who on earth calls them chuckies. I'd have no clue what you were talking about.

What's wrong with willy

FlingonTheValiant · 17/05/2011 20:12

We say zizi, but that's because DH is French. I would say willy when speaking English.

QBEE · 17/05/2011 20:14

penis or sometimes willy here.
vagina for girls.

my mum called boys bits todgers or mushrooms and girls tuppences and as we got older hairy marys.

QBEE · 17/05/2011 20:17

I read my reply back and rolled my eyes as I remembered how cringeworthy it was when my mum used those nicknames hence why we stick to the usual names in this house.

LOL - We say willy for penis and minnie for vagina.... passed down from parent :) DS1 (13yrs) says penis though.... Hmm

thisisyesterday · 17/05/2011 22:27

ds1 calls his Willax Hmm

meditrina · 17/05/2011 22:29

Willy is the nigh on universal day to day term, and children need to know the proper name is penis (bit like tummy and stomach). By the time your DS is about 10, he'll have more terns for it than you'll ever want to hear.....

littledetails · 17/05/2011 22:51

We say tinkle, winkie or tickle tackle!

Teaandcakeplease · 17/05/2011 22:54

Oh I do the same as Mummyloveskisses in my house.

What are chuckies? Penis or testicles?

I say penis, scrotum, testicles. I am a biology teacher.

AnnieBesant · 17/05/2011 22:58

I do love 'privacy' though. That is excellent. Nicely prim, but not overdone Grin

PurveyorOfBaloney · 17/05/2011 22:58

We started out with Winky, but actually it now answers to Penis and DS is only 19m

Grin
Rosemallow · 17/05/2011 23:00

Chuckies?!?!

We used to call them 'tiddlers' when I was growing up but willy seems to be the most commonly used.

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 18/05/2011 15:08

Surely as a biology teacher you say testes Wink (my biology teacher was a tad obsessive about the word, haha)

DS's is called wink, after DH's Grin

WobblyWidgetOnTheScooper · 18/05/2011 15:11

Willy and goolies here :o

mamalovebird · 18/05/2011 15:22

MoFo - loving 'privacy' - made me laugh. very cute.

We use willy or dinkle.

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 18/05/2011 16:01

nothing wrong with the right names nerf, but dont see a problem with nicknames either, so long as youre not uptight about proper names...?

FrogmellaMoonbeam · 18/05/2011 16:07

We use Tinkle for DS and seem to be adopting Twinkle for DD although/because she tends to point to her 'bits' and announce its her Tinkle!

What's wrong with the right names?
