Ha,
I assure you there’s nothing :eek:y about my inquiry. 
I am just remenicing, y’know. I probably didn’t know words like dk or ct or even ‘penis’, when I was a kid. So I, like most kids, had a more innocent name for those parts who’s use I/we didn’t fully understand.
Heh heh. When I first heard the phrase “chin chin” being used as a toast in some British comedy, I cracked up.
For those people who use the word “vagina” for female parts - what about the rest of the parts? I never liked using that word because it leaves so much important stuff out.
I agree. The vagina is the inside bit that kids have no idea is there until the talk about the birds and the bees. The labia is the outside bit that they’d be familiar with.
One of my elderly neighbors has a Japanese Chin dog. He calls him Chin-Chin. I don’t think I’ll tell him what I just learned in this thread.
No cute names in my family. All boys, so I have no idea what my parents would have used for female genetalia, but we all used the terms “penis” and “testicles” (a difficult word for children to say).
JOhn.
Does he know George Michael?
When I really young, I called it a “wee-wee”.
Then it became “not-so-wee” and finally “friggin’ huge!”
I was taught to call my girly parts my “lucy”. Don’t know where in the world that one came from. I always snickered when I Love Lucy came on tv…
As long as he doesn’t pronounce it “cheen cheen,” then he’s okay.
I don’t recall having a name for my girl parts…For what it’s worth, my two nephews, ages 8 and 6 call their penises “winkies”.
That’s the word I’ve taught my son, as well.
My sister and I used the word “tuma”. It was a form of “petunia”, which is what my mom and dad called it. Her kid (Miss Magic8Ball) called it “tutu” because she couldn’t say “tuma”.
Your annoying auntie anecdote for the day.
I called it my ‘modesty’ - that’s what my gramma told me it was called.
I hadn’t thought about that in years and years, until I got a fortune cookie fortune that read “you have a large heart and deep modesty” and couldn’t stop laughing for about 10 minutes.
I always used the word “Peeper” - for both sets of parts.
His peeper, her peeper, your peeper, my peeper. My mom even had a song about peepers (it was a hygiene thing!)
i had a fanny, and boys had a willy.
My cousins called their erm… part… ‘china’! (I have no idea why my aunty got them to say that.)
When I was little I had a twinkie.
My 4 year old daughter told me the other day she has a “girl weiner”.

“IT’S NOT A TUMA”

That’s what my grandmother calls it “that area”, as well. There’s a whole song involving it.
I couldn’t say Urethra, and Vagina wasn’t correct, and Anus was not used, so we went with the whole directional thing.
“Down there”, pointing vaguely, “where I pee (urethra) /go to the bathroom (for the anus)”.
The boys and dad had penises and testicles, we had vaginas. Were given “our bodies” books appropriate to our age around 10 or so, to supplement lectures, etc, on sex and our bodies that expanded the sparse information we got in grade school.
On a mother’s board I frequented, this came up as a topic of discussion for raising their daughters and someone pointed out, “You know, that’s not exactly correct. You don’t pee from your vagina.” My response? “Unless that was one hell of a tear.”
er
That’s what my grandmother calls “that area”, as well. There’s a whole song involving it.
I don’t remember having a name for mine until I was a teenager. As a young child I just referred to it as ‘down there’ and I never made any reference to my brothers junk so I don’t know what they called theirs.
My son is 4 and one day when he was peeing he said something about girls having a weiner just like him and I told him that only boys have weiners and girls have something different. He asked me what girls had so I said, (just like the little boy in Kindergarten Cop) “Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.” My son just busted out laughing and for the next month, just out of the blue, he would say vagina and start giggling.
I think my son calls his privates a weiner and my daughter has calls hers a little butt. lol
Called it my pee-pee or my privates.
When I was a kid, our family dog was Shih-Tzu that my Mom named Chin-Chin. We had no idea until a few years ago, long after the dog died, of the slang connotation.
Your cousins agree with my experience. Mostly. What you got I called a ‘cookie’.
