Mums with daughters - what do you call their lady bits??!

DD is learning words at a rate of knots so we have to decide what delightful euphemism we're going to use to describe her general private area.

We can't think of anything we like - except perhaps Ladybits

Anyone got any good ones?

Sorry if it's been done before, but I didn't think it would be possible to search the archives - what would I search for; female genitalia??!
It would surely bring up millions of threads,...

My Mum would occasionally refer to it in Polish...don't know how it's spelt, but pronounced 'peach-ka'...lovely in English, but apparently quite rude in Polish...

vulva

my son has shouted it A LOT

Sakura · 26/05/2007 00:45

Flower is nice. My mum always called it a "wee wee" as in "Mum, my wee wee hurts" That works for boys as well.

Penny in the birdy house!

elesbells · 26/05/2007 08:44

its called a daisy in our house

Boobsgonesouth · 26/05/2007 08:45

foo foo

fillyjonk · 26/05/2007 08:51

it is a vulva

that is the correct term

fillyjonk · 26/05/2007 08:52

(although have weakness for "yoni". Can't remeber where I got that from.)

harpsichordcarrier · 26/05/2007 08:55

the Kama Sutra I expect

dollyk · 26/05/2007 08:57

minnie or nunnie

SueBaroo · 26/05/2007 10:24

yoni is very empowered-spiritual-feminist..

fillyjonk · 26/05/2007 10:26

yes

WHERE is it from?

A friend said it sounded like yiddish but...I know enough hebrew and yiddish to know that its probably not, unless its a corruption of something...

SueBaroo · 26/05/2007 10:28

I think it's Indian or Sanskrit, something like that. Means something mystical, oo-er.

AngharadGoldenhand · 26/05/2007 10:29

I couldn't use yoni after reading Watership Down. Yonil is a headgehog, isn't it?

We use the word bits in our house.

FrannyandZooey · 26/05/2007 10:30

It's Sanskrit. Yoni and Lingam, isn't it?

fillyjonk · 26/05/2007 10:43

IS it?

wow

but also a hedgehog

am not sure hwat i think about that

FrannyandZooey · 26/05/2007 10:45

I am not convinced about the hedgehog part, tbh

FrannyandZooey · 26/05/2007 10:46

Nope the hedgehog was called YONA

AngharadGoldenhand · 26/05/2007 10:47

Actually, think I might have got that wrong. It's Yona, a hedgehog who gossips a lot.
