In a horrifying bit of synchronicity my 7 year old daughter has just embarked on a quest to find an informal name for her privates that she can live with. She is able to reel off an hilarious list of cute names for the male equivalent ('pickle' being my personal fave), but after the distinctly dull "front bottom" and "girl bits" she's at a loss. It's a telling situation.

When I were a lad they were known as Minnies. I don't know where the term first came from, maybe it's a West country thing.

When I was little the family's word for the male part was "widgie." Not having any sisters, the female equivalent was a mystery - although my primary school friend Kelvin Ridgeway insisted they contained teeth and were called "snappers." I've never summoned up the courage to check...

[Professor Bear]

A list of acceptable synonyms might be an idea, just for the sake of clarity.  Perhaps it could be the first thing that newcomers to the board see, just so as to avoid any mishaps?

My wife and daughter tends to refer it as the bottom and I find mental translation often necessary!

As an aside, how on earth did we manage to descend into this discussion in the political thread?  I mean, it's taken some interesting turns over the years and the political landscape is currently being redesigned by Salvador Dali to be sure, but still ....

See You Next Tuesday.

I believe that life is happy and death is sad.
I believe my mum was married to my dad.
I believe that things that aren't good tend to be
bad.

I believe...

Yes, I believe.

I'm prepared to believe that Nixon wasn't a
crook.
I'm prepared to believe love story is a readable
book.
I believe that "The Dirty Dozen" weren't really
dirty.
I believe that Lucille Ball is still under 30.
I believe Gerald Ford is clever!
That Bob Hope will live forever.
And that lever [lee-ver] is pronounced leh-ver.
And the best film ever made is "Saturday Night
Feh-ver!"
I am prepared to say Col. Sanders can fry!
And that pigs and even DC-10s can fly!
I'm prepared to believe that things go better
with Coke.
And that the Ayatollah tells a darn good knock-
knock joke.
I believe that some folks can hear what Bugs
Bunny is saying.
And that Salt Lake City is a real nice place to
stay in.
I believe that J.R. really loves Sue Ellen!
I believe that things sound better when you're
yelling!
And I believe that the devil is ready to repent!
But I can't believe Ronald Reagan is president!

Not the Nine O'Clock News, 1980.

I think Kev might be right.  The word "mini" was used down here too.

Anyone else see the irony inherent in somebody whose username is 'the legendary shark' regaling us with this tale of 'snappers'?

Mod! Mod! He's calling me a snapper!

[Tiplodocus]

Surely when satire writes itself, we are in the worst of times.

One oppression card for you, Sharky!
