A front bottom? What???
My mom always called vaginas a cookie. I used to tease DH we would call DS's penis a biscotti.
We will probably call it a cookie, too, until we feel as though our children are old enough. We call DS's a peepee.
A front bottom is a term my UK friends and family use for vagina. It's horrific.
I do like biscotti, though.
How old will your kids be until they know all the names of all their body parts? A penis/elbow/ear/vagina are not things to be embarrassed about.

I'm thinking 'when they are old enough' will be individual. For instance, my son is 2 1/2 and he doesn't always use words in the correct way/order/sentence. For instance, his 'leg' Covers his knee atm, and his 'arm' covers shoulder, wrist, and elbow. It also started because it was easier for him to attempt to say 'peepee' than 'penis.'
It's not that we're embarrassed or offended, or want him to be. It's that I want him to use his words correctly and express himself clearly.
ETA: peepee is the name of his penis. It might not be the scientific term, but we also ask if his ears hurt, not his ear drum, or if his tummy hurts and not his stomach. It's the same to me and I'm not really ashamed to use the cutsied up version until I feel like my son is ready for the more anatomical descriptions.
I NEVER craved donuts before I started following this board, and actually when I was younger I didn't even like them (maybe that counts as an UO?). Now I crave them all the time.
UO #1- I can't stand when people refer to a woman's entire pubic area as her "vagina". The vagina is one particular part of that zone. Simple anatomy.
UO #2- I hate Starbucks.
Not sure if that was directed at me since I just used the term in the idiotic poll thread but when responding to "having a dick doesn't equal knowledge", it was the logical term that came to mind as I was typing my response.
(Quote fail)
Certainly not directed at you. I didn't even see the comment you're talking about. Sorry it seemed that way
Don't apologize! I just wanted to clarify why I used the term
And on a related note, I hate it when people call a vagina and/or a vulva some other stupid name. It's not a hoo-ha, a vajayay, lady bits, a front bottom, a fanny, etc. It's a vagina.
My friend's grandmom refers to short skirts as "duck skirts." I asked her why, and she said, "because you can see her quacker." Lol, I've never heard of that one. I call it a "vagina."
I did hear one mom that taught her daughter the actual part names, and in the bathroom the little girl said, "Mommy, please wipe my vulva." That always makes me think of Mulva from Seinfeld.
My UO: I think donuts filled with ANYTHING are gross. Jelly, boston creme (sp? is that supposed to be Boston Cream?), whatevs. It's all unnecessary.
Another UO: I think Dunkin' Donuts are gross. Krispy Kreme >>>>> Dunkin'.
We have always used the word "penis" with DS (3yo). He talks about his penis. And daddy's penis. A lot. Maybe we all have too much naked time at our house?

I just realized how much I love you ladies. I was sooo upset when I thought I pissed you off.
Even if it was directed at me, it wouldn't have pissed me off. I just asked because I wanted to clarify that I do indeed know there is more down there than just the vagina haha.

SO true. I wish we had Krispy Kreme where I live. Dunkin will have to suffice.
Because of this thread, I'm heading to voo doo doughnuts. I'll post deliciousness in a bit.
We hit Voodoo while in Portland over the weekend! OMG!...sooooo good... soooo not good for my blood sugars (I am proud I managed to keep them from spiking)
UO: I have the sense of humor of South Park most days. Last night I laughed because the book I was reading had the phrase "big black cock" in reference to a rooster. DH says that I'll need to get it in check but I'm having a boy so don't I just have an endless number of years of potty humor ahead of me? I think it's going to be hard to tell my kid that certain things aren't funny, when I in fact think they are hysterical.
I laughed for a stupid long time after reading "big black cock" lol I couldn't even type it without giggling!
Today I was in the 4th and 5th grade class helping out and one of the little girls was rhyming words with "zoo"...the second she said "poo" I lost it! Along with the 2 boys next to us lol. Not my proudest moment, but it happened. Good luck with potty training!
I HATE the UO thread. We need more bitch threads or wtf threads or "teehee look at me breaking pregnancy rules" threads. UOs are either lame or resort to actions damn near violating the TOU.

@YaMrWhite-- The internet is a liar. Not everything can be found on the internet! I searched forever looking for a pregnant human with a pregnant pet picture. No dice. But I found that lovely gem. Close enough.
I do it for teh lulz. Or the horrified looks. Either feeds the attention whore living inside of me. hahahaha.

YES! The whole damn thing is not a vagina!!!!! I say who-ha because saying "well, my clitoris, labia major, labia minor, and vagina are sore from last night" sounds stupid!!! I just tell my husband "thanks for the Who-Ha hangover"! Ha Ha
As long as we're rolling with this... "Who-Ha" looks funny to me. I prefer "Hoo-Ha."
Well I don't actually spell it that often, so if it's "Hoo" then I'll go with that ;-)
I did hear one mom that taught her daughter the actual part names, and in the bathroom the little girl said, "Mommy, please wipe my vulva." That always makes me think of Mulva from Seinfeld.
My mom taught us the proper terms and apparently when I was 3 I announced to everyone in line at the deli counter (very loudly) that I had a vagina, and my brother has a penis.

That reminds me of that little kid in kindergarten cop.
