I realized today that my parts have no official names. Anyone have inspiration? For example, I have met “The Emporer,” “Venus,” “Sugar and Cream,” and not to forget, “Little Brian” (an appropriate name). Help me name my underwear(and bra)-bound friends! ---

Is that name already taken, or are suggesting one for me, and if so, which part? ---

Naming body parts is a little silly, just call them what they are, that way there is NO confusion when talking to others about them. 🙂 ---

We need a frame of reference for your bra buddies. They could be the Mosquito Bite Twins Or they could be the Grand Tetons. Or if you’d rather not divulge that, how about - Laverne and Shirly - always popular. As for your other, um, place, I’ve always been partial to Paradise Alley. ---

How about calling your two friends Ida and Ho, and your other part O-Boise? BTW, do you really have a Senator by the last name “CRAPO”? ---

## quote: Naming body parts is a little silly, just call them what they are, that way there is NO confusion when talking to others about them. I can’t agree strongly enough. There was never anything more frustrating than being with a girl who would use all kinds of euphemisms and nicknames for various body parts. “Them,” “there,” “down there,” and “it,” all get very tiresome very quickly. I don’t know of many guys who like being with a woman who talks like a stevedore, but most guys need all the help they can get and a girl who’ll say “Rub my cl\*t” wins every day. Damn, now my pants are all pointy again. ---

**OESGal** > [@](#): > > It is so much easier if you just call it your penis or vagina or breast or whatever the real name for it is. Easier? Sure, but where’s the fun? I call mine by two names, reflecting his multiple-personality disorder: **Woody Johnson** and **Les Johnson**. And **green** , you must make your own choices, but I once knew a woman (biblically!) who called hers **Edwina** and **Bettina** , and another who called her set **Knick** and **Knack**. It’s just like naming pets. ---

Well, to those who suggest that calling my body parts by their “correct” scientific name is silly, yes, I agree. Immature, no. Because each of US has a name, that we prefer people to call us, instead of “Hey, Human! Yo! You over there! Human!” I am just trying to have a little fun, and be more specific. Of course in some situations the anatomical term is more appropriate. For those of you asking for details: 34C. 'Nuf said. ::wink at GreenEyes:: ---

Other body parts have easy, user-friendly names like hip, ear, nose, lips. The problem with penis & vagina is that the words are so cold and clinical. I vote to call them “ken” and “barbie”. ---

Depending on my mood, the obvious part is either “Mojo Jojo” or “TK421” (as in, “TK421, why aren’t you at your post?”). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lucie \* > \*\*Other body parts have easy, user-friendly names like hip, ear, nose, lips. The problem with penis & vagina is that the words are so cold and clinical. \*\* Before the doctors got ahold of English and squeezed the life out of it, the common, polite, English word for the male member was _pintle_ (little pin). (_Cock_ has always been considered vulgar.) _Penis_ was a Latin slang word for the male member but it really meant _tail_. The common Latin word for the penis was _mentula_. Similarly, _vagina_ really meant “sheath” in Latin. The Latin word for that part of the female anatomy was _cunnus_. I think you can guess what the English word for it was before _vagina_ took over. ---

I rarely refer to it by name, but I christened my penis Jed Schlongsbury. ---

As I say in times of doubt, Look to Bob Newhart to figure it out. When you introduce yourself say, “Hi, I’m green, this is my brother Daryl, and this is my other brother Daryl.” 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funny-strange-names-for-your/26979.md?page=2)
