It sort of says what it does and is age specific and is a whole lot easier to say for a toddler than vagina and seems to be socially acceptable.<br />I now have a grandson so the term willy is getting a lot of use which is a bit unfair on my 23 year old nephew who is named William and has been the only Willy (dual meaning) in the family until recently.<br />Sorry must dash I have to siphon the python.<br />Nigelnigelldhttp://wrapcloth.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921068312641413370.post-88040914012588242192011-12-17T10:47:39.640-05:002011-12-17T10:47:39.640-05:00@Jessica - I seem to remember from NC that you wer...@Jessica - I seem to remember from NC that you were good a coming up with nicknames for "other" things. I specifically remember one involving Saran wrap and another involving a computer mouse. Never forget that show!<br /><br />@Luna - Wait, it's not?! Just kidding! I was actually reading an article, while doing my research for this post, that schools in the UK are now using "vulva" as standard language for that area on a female. I'm not sure if you asked a room full of 10 people if half would know the difference. Maybe it will catch on. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@Bruce - Like he was going to hang people with it? Nice. It comes as no surprise that grown men struggle with women's parts. If you're like me, I never really got "the talk" from my parents. I learned everything I know from the back of the school bus and Human Anatomy class. So, if you were not a science geek like me, and you never took anatomy, you're still operating on bus stop definitions of things and whatever you have learned from experience.

It astounds me how many girls grow up thinking that their vagina is the entire area from pubis to anus.

But then what happens when if you have someone named Suzy or Virginia in your class? My mom definitely taught us the clinical over slang. However, that made it awkward when my brothers taught me the slang terms but gave them different definitions, like, normal everyday definitions. Instead of asking for a spoon, I asked for a...well...a very dirty word for vagina. A c-word. <br /><br />I used the term Chacha at one point, so I think I'd go with that.Jessica McHughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898089354405889506noreply@blogger.com
