You know, if you go to see a fantastic play called The Vagina Monologues (which I have seen twice and highly recommend), you'll hear more bizarre names for the female anatomy then you ever could have imagined. Coochie-snorcher was the most amusing in my opinion, although there may be better ones i just don't remember. Coochie-snorcher (if I am spelling that right) was easy to remember because there is a skit in the play called "The Little Coochi-Snorcher That Could."

That play was such a cathartic experience for me. They still do it every valentines day in colleges all over the US... When I first saw it I felt very very lucky and blessed to be a woman, a complicated, messy beautiful woman

I am a lurker on a baby forum, and apparently, even pediatricians are scared to use proper terminology? ?? I'd be freaked out if I heard what another mother on the baby forum's pediatrician calls her little girl's genitalia!!! He calls it her "girly bits!" I think it is sad that medical professionals even feel the need to ...I hate to say "de-sexualize," when proper terminology is nothing sexual. What is everyone going to use for their children's genitalia? I think we'll use "penis" and "labia" or "vulva." Obviously, those are hard words to say, so probably cutsie terms will pop up as a result of misarticulation, but I just can't bring myself to call it something it's not. G-d forbid the child gets molested or something, I want him/her to be able to properly articulate where he/she was touched. Curious as to everyone's thoughts.

I would teach my kids the proper terms. Otherwise, they're going to grow up feeling ashamed of their own bodies. I never knew the appropriate terms when I was little. I knew I wasn't supposed to be touched down there, but if anyone ever had done that to me, I'm not sure I would have known how to explain it to my mom! When I got old enough to learn words like "vagina" on my own, I felt embarrassed to say them because I felt like they must be bad words since I hadn't known them growing up! I think when parents refuse to say the real word for somehting, it sends kids the message that the thing is so terrible that its name can't even be spoken (like Voldemort, for any of you who are familiar with Harry Potter). What sort of message is that to send to children about parts of themselves?

I agree. I was taken aback when I found out that DOCTORS are even scared to use the proper names now!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who will be teaching the proper terms!

I don't remember my "down there" being called anything except "vagina".
When my sis and I were little we used to go and watch my dad pee (he learned to shut and lock the door quickly when we figured out how to use doorknobs). One day, I was standing at the toilet like my dad would, and saying to my mom "Where's my worm?"
LOL!

A few years ago, I was visiting one of my friends who had a 3-year-old (now almost 7!!! They grow up SOOO fast!). The mom and I were in the kitchen doing dishes when we heard this whiny wail coming form the back bathroom. "Mommmmmmmyyyyy, I peeeeeed in my haiiiiiiirrrrrr." Mom and I just stopped doing dishes and stared at each other rather perplexed. We rushed to the bathroom to find her beautiful, long, curly, blonde hair drenched! LOL! Her mom asked her, "Howwww did you pee in your hair???" The kiddo replied, "I was standing backwards on the toilet, trying to pee like Daddy. When I looked down to watch, my hair got in the way and got wet (crrryyyy, cryyyyy, sob)." Apparently, she was standing/squatting on the toilet seat backward????Peeing? I guess that is how she envisioned her father/boys peeing! LOL! I think my friend and I will always remember it. Sometimes when we call each other, we greet each other by saying, "Mommmmmeeeeee!!!!! I peeeeed in my haiiiiir!"

Ive never read through this thread before, its hilarious.
I dont remember ever using other terms except what there actually called.
It can be romantic to use other terms, i dont mind honey pot, seems a nicer name, and have heard it referred to as a flower as well which is nice as well.
My husband loves using pussy though, and its a little annoying, but he loves the word so much cant fault him.
I would never dream of calling anything other than what it is with a child, they can learn the slang at school, shouldnt learn it from parents.
