Question for the LadiesFollow

On another forum, more than one female expressed that "******" is a word best left in the doctor's office. Differences of opinion, of course.
I'm sure anyone would know what you're talking about but, unless you consistantly say '******', you're just as guilty of using a bajillion terms as any man. If you do say "******" then that answers that question.

True that. But it's the medical term most often used to define the entire kit

Lord help me if I'm down to saying "genitalia"

I have zero STDs and have seen snatches & axewounds before so, yes, you are a total loser but not for the self-righteous reasons you mention

Is there another reason? Explain.

Well, I've never named it but if I'm complaining about a green lump growing on my di[/i]ck, I'm perfectly content to say "I have a green lump growing on my di[i]ck" instead of "I have a green lump 'down there'". I guess men have less cause to be coy about it.

I don't know if one's any better or worse than the other.

I was hoping for a pegina

Hell no. I don't want to have to say "*****" to my doctor

If it came up in conversation, which it really doesn't, I refer to it as my nether region.

It's all situational.

If I'm around female relatives (who can't really disown me like an acquaintance can), I'm fairly nonchalant about the language usage so I just go with whatever seems appropriate for the conversation. If we're talking yeast infections, then the word is ******. If we're talking about soands whose ankles have separate zipcodes then it's pus[/i]sy or See You Next Tuesday. (I had to explain to my mother and aunt what the word c[/i]unt was the first time I used the above. Good Times)

If I'm around female coworkers or friends, I'm a bit choicier about my verbosity and let them lead in vulgarity. I never get complaints about my language that way.

My answer is pretty similar to Nexa's.

My husband, on the other hand, calls it a monkey.

When teaching my girls the body parts of both them and the male form, my girls (being young and girly) were uncomfortable saying the clinical terms.

We have settled on calling the girl parts Coo-coo's and the boy parts Who-ha's. Everyone knows what we are talking about and most think it's rather funny.

My wife, her mother, sister, cousin, aunt and grandmother who are all of northern Italian heritage, use the regional dialect from that area and call it:

muena - pronounced mwen-na - rhymes with buena (Buena Vista). It's a silly and fun word to say in all sorts of accents!

My wife's 92 year-old grandmother has taught me all sorts of colorful Italian phrases.

"Katcha a la begosha" (nearest I can figure out how to spell it), which means, "Throw it to the whores."

I find it fun in a serious discussion (especially when it gets heated) to slam my palm on the dining room table and shout that phrase. Good times...
