A Rose By Any Other Name

I am fascinated by the euphemisms and nicknames people use for their genitalia. I did an unscientific poll once asking women what they called their nether-regions (or what they called them when they were kids). Here is the list, in no particular order:

Tweedle
Hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Susie
Tootie
Missy
Sissy
Cooter
Front Bottom
Fanny
Flower
Mess

I find “mess” particularly disturbing, but it’s true.

So to all those in lurker land and to the faithful commenters:
What names have you heard ? Tell me a story.

  4. Years ago, while bathing my daugther who was three at the time, she informed me that little boys had penises (penii?). As soon as she let this declaration sink in, she said "And I know what little girls have too! They have 'chinas'!"

The list goes on and on, and on. If requested more are available (maybe in an e-mail,) however ... it’s a family site. BTW Penii, thats funni...

  12. my mom used to call it "porper" when i was little, for some reason that always reminded me of a dolphin. and i still can't stand that word.

    and when my brother was little, he walked in on my mom when she got out of the shower and said, "i can see your cookie monster!"
