Whan ever I go to a Mexican restaurant I make sure to get the fajitas, so I can pronounce it “fa-jye-tas”.
Actually, “WAH-ghee-na” might work. It would sound different, at least.
lotus
my friend calls it “chach”
My all time favorite is from LifeonWry, in this thread.
The snacky-cake synonyms:Yoohoo, HoHo, DingDong (oops, wrong gender).Drives me spare. Fine for casual chats, but when a friend’s mom told me “Well, they found cancer in my yoohoo” I just about snorted tea out my nose. If you’re about to have surgery on it, you should address it by its proper name.
Yoni.
In a medical setting, it’s a vagina, or the whole area is vulva. No problem there. I mean, if somebody has their fingers up there, I’m not going to get embarassed at the word vagina.
For conversational-type purposes I like hooha. I haven’t been able to use this one anywhere but on this board, but I like it.
Even in the heat of the moment, if a guy referred to my cunt things would come to a grinding halt. I simply do not like that word, no matter how many other people don’t mind it. Pussy is fine under those circumstances.
Funny, I had read this thread before, but when I saw the title this time, I thought it referred to the pronunciation. So in that case, I guess you could pronounce it the Latin way (I think vah-GHEE-na), or pronounce it as a Spanish word rhyming with página (so then it would be VAH-hee-na with the V a bit like a B and the H attacked a little more aggressively than in English).
Courtesy of some of my straight friends:
Fangita (fan-JEE-ta) - I like this one best.
Quim - Sounds very archaic, in a quintessentially English way.
Cat - Hmmmm, I dunno.
Beef curtains - Yuk. Don’t use that expression when I’m eating steak.
Pissflaps - Sounds so ridiculous, I couldn’t help but laugh. Sorry.
"VA-GI-NA! VA-GI-NA!
I love ya! VA-GI-NA!
You’re always a day, away…"
I like Yoni, it seems the friendliest way of saying it.
But I use “your buzzing hive of desire” on special occasions.
I use “punani” when I’m referring to mine. My husband doesn’t really refer to it that much, except when we’re having sex. And then he uses “pussy,” “cunt,” or … “twat.” Yup. “Twat.”
Wow, am I the only person to call it a “Honeypot”? It’s so apt!
Well, that certainly sheds new light on the title of Christopher Ondaatje’s book The Man-Eater of Punani.
Man eater indeed.
Vah-gi-nah! I’ve tasted a lady’s vagina.
and suddenly that name
will never be the same
to me…
With apologies to Johnny Mathis, et.al.
MUD-FLAPS!!!

Yoni is a perfect name for a most beautiful part of the most beautiful creation in the world (or out of it for that matter). And lingam is nice for penis too. These names are very spiritual and full of meaning. I’m not a religious man but a woman is a religious experience. Yoni in Wilipedia:“In Hindu philosophy, according to Tantra, yoni is the origin of life. The yoni is also considered to be an abstract representation of Shakti and Devi, the creative force that moves through the entire universe.A sacred Sanskrit word, it is the divine passage, womb or sacred temple (cf. lila). The word covers a range of meanings, including: place of birth, source, origin, spring, fountain, place of rest, repository, receptacle, seat, abode, home, lair, nest, stable. In Hindu philosophy, according to Tantra, yoni is the origin of life. The yoni is also considered to be an abstract representation of Shakti and Devi, the creative force that moves through the entire universe.” A woman is a Yoni.
A zombie vagina! Nothing good can come out of this.
This zombie thread is taking me back to the days of my study of Latin.
Oh how we snickered in class. There was a picture of a Roman soldier, and there were the parts of his gear mentioned. Sword is Gladius, from which we get gladiator. And the sheath the sword goes into is…vagina.
Are you sure he/she isn’t say ‘snatch’ cause that is fairly common around here. Don’t axe me why.
