I was chatting with one of my good friends the other day and we got on the topic of child-friendly words for male and female genitalia. As a kid, just about everyone has words for their “pee pee” or their “flower”. It seems that just about every family is different.

My family used “tea pot” for the boy and “cookie” for the girl. A friend of my family has a daughter who is 10 and she calls it her “pickle”… I thought this was kind of bizarre. Did you guys have funny kid-friendly nicknames for those things when you were young?

My mom says they called vaginas "frogs" when she was a little girl.

This is slightly off-topic, but I always referred to my penis as "Mjollnir" (the hammer of Thor) :cool:

This is rather silly, though. Was I the only kid taught to say "penis" and "vagina"? I heard other kids talking about "peepees" and stuff like that and I thought they were idiots. This was when I was 6. Are we still so completely repressed and emasculated as a culture that your children speak a pseudo-language?

That's a bit of a mouthful.

:o

(Sorry.)


We called a penis a 'winkie'/'winky'.

I can't remember what a vagina was called. Did we even know what one was back then?

I remember the girls calling them Mini's when I was in primary school.

Was always willy for the boys bits, up until about 11... when things became much more adult orientated. :D

I'd never heard of the term cock before until I moved up north from Berkshire to Yorkshire.

I also remember the term boney foo foo for ladies bits.

I'm sure there's some others, but willy and mini both spring to mind as the first ones I was aware of.

When I was in college I babysat a little girl who always called her girl part her "yoni." I had never heard that term before, so I looked it up and it's a Sanskrit word meaning "divine passage." Pretty strange thing for a 3-year old to call it, if you ask me. But her mom was a big time hippie so she must have taught her daughter to call it that.
As a kid my siblings and I learned to call them by their proper names from our parents and we learned all the other names on the playground...

It was always pee pee and I don't even remember what the other one was named.

The kids in my neighborhood use to call a vagina a VJ. I don't really remember needing to use the word vagina or any other word for it as a really young kid.

My friend's kids use the word "Cooch" for their girl parts.

I taught my kids the proper names of penis and vagina but they seem to prefer to just say pee or pee pee. I don't really know why that is but its not like they use those words often.

No, no my friend, you are confusing a legitimate technical term with children's words for private parts.

Which brings us to the Thingamabob. Or the doohickey. These are all very precise technical terms and are (obviously) unrelated to the topic at hand.

And don't even get me started on how people can confuse them. Sheesh!

I actually don't remember. I was an only child until my stepmother had a baby when I was 12 (and didn't live with them very long) so I didn't have much reason to be given cutsie names for penis and vagina.

Isn't fanny the derriere?
not in the UK, here it's slang for vagina. Makes the term "fanny pack" very funny indeed. :D

I don't think it's quite that simple really when referring to lady bits.

Vagina isn't the whole (teehee) unit, it's only a specific part.

When children are referring to their bits (and bobs ;)) I'm not so sure they're actually referring to the actual vagina, more the entire unit.

True... however if you were so fully addicted to this trap that you bought something circular with stones that you believed was a "key" to this trap, then it is still VERY expensive.


Not to mention if you do.. gardening... in this trap, and plant seeds that grow.. let me tell you.. wow...


See.. just a big trap all the way around...
