Private parts names

[wowhead]

What did your parents/grandparents call girly parts?

My grandma has always used petunia. To this day every time I refer to the flower it feels dirty.

[ginger]

LOL!

My mom called it my Monkey!

M's favorite animal is a monkey.....this can get weird.....

We call M's girly bits because apparently we're British.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

We discussed no such thing.

[speckledfrog]

I don't remember them calling them one thing or another, but I'm pretty sure it was penis/vagina because I've never called them anything else.

[hisno1girl]

I never discussed my private parts w/either of my grandmothers.

My mother used 'private parts'

Who called them 'lickety splits'?

[papie]

My mom always said "droppy sou" (shame on you) every time I touched myself as a kid, or even looked in the general direction of my vagina. So apparently one time I had a bad rash (at like age 2) and was crying in greek "My SHAME hurts". My dad was horrified and had a talk with my mom about teaching me a better name. She settled on "poulaki" which means your "birdy" literally. Not sure it was any better, lol.

I have always made a big effort to use the real words with my kids as a result ;-)

MsNasty's SON. 

Why did you need to remind me of this?

[underwaterrhymes]

We used pee pee.

H and I will be using proper anatomical names.

[verypunny]

Nothing with grandparents. My grandma did say piddle instead of pee though.

Anatomical names or crotch with parents.

Movie ruined.

There were no names for those parts, as sex did not exist and was not addressed in our house growing up. I had no idea what anything was down there until sex ed in 7th grade, and to this day my mom has never uttered anything at all referencing private parts, or sex, in my presence.

We're doing things a little differently than my parents, with mixed and unexpected results.

My mom said girls have twinkies. And that's why I've never been able to eat a hostess Twinkie.

But if it's full of white cream, you should call a doctor. 

[jinkies]

Yeah, I never, ever discussed genitals with either my parents or my grandparents, even in the most general sense.

[spellingbea]

My mom used to call it a tolley. Or tolly. Hell, it's a made up word, I don't know how it's spelled.

[Deleted]

Po-po.

I believe Tamb and I have this in common.

When people use it as slang for police I'm all "OMG! Gross guys!".

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Pretty sure we just called them privates.

H calls DS's penis a pee pee to which I always say "What? You can't say 'penis?' Penis, penis, penis."

I use anatomical names.

[kiminky]

They didn't.

Tookey. Like two key. I have no idea. It came from my italian grandma.

A fart was a pididi. Which was hilarious in like 10th grade when puff daddy changed his name

I have no idea if these are real words or not.

[game blouses]

Vava, since vulva was too hard to say when we were little.

[eb777888]

All I remember is my mom calling my vagina a doodle bug. OMG. Ugh. There's a Doodle Bug business near us and anytime I hear anyone mention it, I cringe. ::::shudder:::: It's especially traumatic when H says it. Sometimes he say it just to fuck with me, lol.

[TC]

We used pee-pee and bottoms too, as a young child. Then it moved into an even more general "parts" reference with a knowing wave of the hand or some such when I started my period. Somehow things got more vague the older I got, not less.

I am literally laughing about all of this. Especially the shame part.

Tookey was my dog's name growing up!!!

My parents just said privates.

[MixedBerryJam]

I don't recall the term my parents used specifically, but I had a great aunt who referred to my butt cheeks as loaves of bread and my genitals as buns (smaller than loaves of bread, get it?)

[auntie]

With my parents, pre-"the talk", "parts". My mother still sometimes uses the term and she isn't the shrinking violet type- I think she likes the generic.

I don't think my grandparents had, much less discussed, genitalia. And certainly not with children. My grandmother did use piddle. It was usually used in the context of the dogs or a child.

My late MIL, who was the Queen of the Euphamism, "passed water" with physicians and "powdered her nose" with anyone else.

[flamingeaux]

I had a flower and my brother had a pickle. Why I know this I'm not completely certain but a lot of people around here, refer to them as a "tootie". When my aunt and cousin were visiting one time my cousin was like 3 or 4 and apparently had a rash. She kept saying Mommy my COOCHIE hurts very loudly in the airport." My aunt had no idea where she picked that term up.
