“Your piece of pork, your wife’s best friend,
Your Percy or your cock;
You can wrap it up in ribbons,
You can slip it in your sock,
But don’t take it out in public
Or they’ll put you in the dock
And you won’t come back!”
Sorry about that.
Oh, and I’m ROTFL over “cinnabar portal”… 
“The Undiscovered County”.
[sub]At least for me, anyway.[/sub] :eek:

*[sub](Now you know where the phrase “piece of ass” comes from)[/sub]
You gotta love the 'nanny
Exactly! I was wondering if I’d be the first…you beat me to it. “Cooter” is a great word. A little bit cute, but it rolls on the tongue(punny!) quite nicely…
Cooter has my vote
-Tcat
Someone on the boards called theirs “Hoo ha”. I have now adopted that one for Mrs. robgruver.
I vote for Hoo ha’s everywhere!
Dammit, Cal! I now have that Mary Poppins/chimney sweep song in my head reworded as “Quim, quiminey, quim, quiminey, quim, quim, querie…”
Aaarghh!

That’s a slang word, and it takes in the entire female genitalia. The standard word for vagina is faighin.
Which is better than the Irish word for vulva: pit !!
Go raibh maith agat, a rún.
Anyone know any more names for it in different languages, please contribute!
While we were growing up, my dad referred to our ‘pretty pink parts’ as ‘petunia’.
My sister and I couldn’t pronounce that, so we said ‘tuma’.
My neice couldn’t pronounce THAT, so it became ‘tutu’.
Now, I live in the Northwest Territories in Canada (until tomorrow) and have several Inuit clients and colleagues.
One of them has the last name Tootoo. To compound things, his first name is Hunter.
I have a hard time keeping a straight face while talking to him. It’s a good thing I’m leaving.
I’ve found a good one for “while out in public” or in the presence of smaller people (aka children)… I like to refrer to that wonderful garden of love as “Mommy Parts”… a term I picked up from the Bob and Tom Morning show.
Put in private I do fall in with the 90% and use “Pussy”… I like to use the Sean Connery pernunciation of Poosy… 
My vote goes to fanny.
Pussy sounds really nasty to me…
*ruadh, I was looking for words that mean either ‘vulva’ or ‘the whole thing’. Faighin for vagina is just a Latin borrowing (but looks curiously Dickensian).
Learned a new Irish word for vulva, thanks to you: pit — but notice on my list, it’s the exact same word in Ganza, a language of East Africa. Compare these also with words from around the world — Bisa bid, Hebrew pot, Chimu pot, Ganjule pote, Old Japanese photo, Hindustani puttu, Guahibo petu, Gao/Songhai buti (“shake your buti”), etc.
They have all been traced back to a Proto-World root for the vulva, *PUTI. One of the most primordial, universal words in the world. The English slang word derived from it is poontang (< French putaine ‘whore’ < Latin putta ‘girl’ < Proto-Indo-European *puto ‘vulva’).
My favorite is petunia. I’ll go with sushi or yoni, though.
YAY! Robgruver! I’m the one who calls my hoo ha my hoo ha…
but when it’s shaven, mr. jarbaby calls it
The Skink.
I don’t know why. My hooha does not resemble a lizardhead.
I like that one German word kotze. kotze. i’ll tuck that away for the next rammstein concert.

And as I’ve remarked before, the body of water that “P,B,and J Otter” live on in the Disney Channel cartoon is “Lake Hooha”. Now I’ve got this bizarre mental image every time MilliCal watches that show. (Pays me back for “quim, quim, queree”, I guess.)
As for “kotze”, that was the last name that Ian Fleming gave to the East German Physicist in the book Thunderball. I think they used it in the movie, too. Nobody made as big a deal about it as they did about “Pussy Galore”, though. Maybe the critics don’t know German.
I don’t know where they speak Tamil, but anyone that has that many names for the female reproductive organ can’t be all bad.

PS - I like to call it “Narnia,” as it’s a magical place beloved by many, access to which is not always easy.
I’m terribly sorry, but all this discussion re: My Favorite Place on Earth to Rest My Tongue, has got me feeling a mite “Wich Doctor”-ish…
(sings)
Hoo-hee, hoo-ha ha, ting, 'tang, walla-walla, bing-bang…
Okay, I’m done.
And, sorry, but Mrs. Tygr has asked me not to reveal what we call her whoopsie-diddle.
Oops.
