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?
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.
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.
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.
ita, I like distaff.
Note: I have turned in my paper due tonight. I am drinking wine. YAY.
Note Pum Pum is not on Muffy's list, at least as of today April 26 4:40 P.M.
Distaff is my preference. Def not girl club, cuz that sounds, I dunno, like a strip club.
Distaff is my preference too, but I think it may be too counter-intuitive.
Too counter-intuitive for what?
