Oh, sorry, Burrell. I forgot there was an Actual Issue. I don't see anything wrong with "butt" or "crotch," unless you think they're too vulgar for little kids? Bottom and, um, something else?
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Tell her it's her batty and her pumpum. She'll cause any Jamaicans in the room to clutch their pearls and reach for their smelling salts, but what are the odds?
Hmm, the odds might be better than you'd think.

"Bottom" is our general catchall term. I think that's a safe one.
Also, I see we are ALL information geeks. Which, come to think of it, I knew.

It's hard, because someone, somewhere would think whatever Franny calls them will be obscene.
Hoo-ha? It's unspecific, but cheerful!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, then, if anyone faints, when you revive them find out where to get Tastee patties and harddo bread.
Unrelatedly: I'm wondering...venus.provocateuse.com? distaff.provocateuse.com? women.provocateuse.com? girlclub.provocateuse.com?
I need a name, people.

No worries. As issues go, it's minor. I mean, for me, the only real issue was having to stop myself from calling it her "cootch" as that probably *would* have raised a few eyebrows. I'm good with butt and crotch, and I figure that any caregiver or parent too modest to find those terms acceptable has bigger issues to deal with.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My default term for the whole apparatus is, I am faintly embarrassed to admit, cooter or cootch, but my actual favorite terms are cunnie and quim.
After The Daily Show's report on Florida's Cooter Festival, I have a clear favourite in this race. "Why do you insist on sexualising vaginas?"

I like "venus.provocateuse" just because of the "us" repitition.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
My parents were far more strict about things with us than they were with the younger kids. We were taught to say "bottom". I can't remember what we were taught to say for our respective genitalia, but I remember using the term "front porch" when I was pre-pubescent.
