Legitimate words for private parts to children

    I've always been deeply uncomfortable with the medical terminology for our genitalia, so, like most parents, I told my son he had a mickey. My wife was grand with that, but for some reaosn she flipped when I told him girls had fannies, preferring that we teach him the V word.

    Who has the right of it, and why?

    here are so may words for the V word. Some I've heard are muff, dido and pom.

    Use the correct words, just like they do at school from junior infants.

    What's wrong with penis and vagina, you weirdo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭Mugatuu


    When my cousin was 3 she would refer to her vagina as her mini (front mini bum!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    Once my sister was swimming in a public pool and accidentally kicked a random girl between the legs. The girl yelled at her "You kicked my pom you dirty fish!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    Mickey or willie seems to pretty pretty acceptable. As for the female counterpart, flange or axe-wound would be my suggestion.

    "Penis" and "vagina". They'll thank you for it.

    Alsol if you're uncomfortable with the meidcal terminology (why?) then what's so specific about wanting special terms to use in front of kids?

    What do you call them in front of adults?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I've always been deeply uncomfortable with the medical terminology for our genitalia, ?

    Why is that? I'd be the opposite, I find it easier to be matter of fact about it.
    I grew up on a farm though, reproduction was everywhere.

    That sounds like soem of the stuff you hear from people when they start threads in here discribing last night's nightclub escapades and trying to sound cool by inventing new slang terminology at the same time.

    You're got hangups. Right there. Deal with them rather them passing them on to the offspring. Next thread, please.

    Her 'mossy cleft' or her 'wispy mound'.

    'Flossy molly' was another one I liked back in the day.

    Knob, OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Nope, I don't.

    No, of course not. Can't use penis and vagina in front of kids , but comfortable with **** and whatever the **** it was in front of adults. Perfectly normal well-adjusted behaviour.

    Either grow up or stop trolling me!

    Why you singing me out? Do you say bum bum or anus to children?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock

    Bum or anus, depending on what part of the body I'm refering to because, again, we're talking about two dfferent things. Bum refers the the buttocks or gluteal muscles, where as the anus is an opening used for defecation between them.

    Didn;t single you out - you started the thread and asked the question.

    What strange names you chose for your daughters.

    'Hey,Front bum and Backbum, ye're dinners ready'

    Flan was a term my youngest sister picked up in playschool and became a running joke amongst the 3 of us as kids.

    Uncontrollable giggles ensued one Sunday afternoon when we visited our aunt's for dinner. 'Now kids, would ye like to taste some flan after your dinner' is one of the funniest things you can hear as an eleven year old.

    'thanks Auntie Helen, your flan is lovely'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭AndonHandon


    Growler.
    Muff.
    Minge.
    Box.


    Take your pick.

    According to the primary school curriculum children are to be taught the proper terminology from a very young age now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭lazygal


    We use the proper terms. Vulva, penis, scrotum, testicles. I don't see the point in euphemisms. I don't want them to have any confusion about a front bum/back bum/willy or whatever, I do not understand why people don't use the correct terms.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    Knew a fella with a couple of daughters who he refered to as 'The Splitarses'.

    To be fair, I'm glad they didn't say c*nt or jipstick (for the record, neither do I)

    Why do the correct terms make you deeply uncomfortable? That's not normal. I would cringe hearing a child use the terms Mickey and fanny to be honest. Just tell him the proper names!
