I am doing research for a series of serious (and humorous) articles on what we call our private parts, our woo-woos, our nookies. This should be fun for 'Catters who usually rise to occasion (good one) for any good posting. Tell what you named your nookies, how the name came about (family tradition?)(culture?)(country?). A lot of couple have pet names for each other's "thingies). Feel free to post photos. But, all seriousness aside...this could be fun. Ari

Jeez, Ari -- is nothing sacred?? :>)

Actually I don't have a name for my thingie, would you believe that? When I was much younger, I called it John Thomas because I thought there was something vaguely literary about imitating Lawrence's game keeper. Ridiculous affectation, since I didn't honestly even know what a game keeper really was!! :>) And I had a girlfriend when I was in my late teens who called it Pegoo, which I thought sounded like a character out of Melville.

Depends who I'm talking to. Formally it's my penis, informally it's my cock or prick, although Lina has been known to refer to it (rather disparagingly I think) as "Little Willie".

It'll be interesting to know if any of our female 'catters (Penelope Rutledge for instance) have names for their genitalia.

Used to work with a woman whose family referred to male thingies as Poochies, and female thingies as Chickens. She didn't know why, the tags had come down through her mom's family for at least three generations. After working with her for many years, and being a sort of aunt to her daughter, I still think of those appelations. Sometimes, I still burst into a braying laugh when an innocent context conjures up the absurd image. "Her chicken had not been adequately plucked," comes to mind.

A sports writer with whom we worked had an annoying habit of constantly (and, I DO mean constantly) adjusting, lifting, moving, feeling, his privates through his clothing. He became known within local media (and police) circles as the "poochie plucker."

As small children, everyone I knew had names for their genitalia, usually something boringly simple like "willie" or "tail" for the boys, but the girls parts got far more exotic names like "fairy", "foo-foo", "tuppence" or "twinkle".
I must confess to having something of a problem using the word "vagina" to my six year-old (I'm not sure why), but equally I can't stand all that "front-bottom/back-bottom" nonsense!

The Irish language word for penis is 'bod' - rhymns with 'Bud' the beer. So since Budweiser entered the market here some years back, you have people going up to the bar and asking for a 'penis' or 'penises'. Though I think Bud tastes more like the liquid that is discharged from the 'Bod' after lowering a few pints.

If women wish to refer to their complete genitalia by the word "vagina", then they shouldn't make jokes like:
"What's the difference between a Clitoris and the nearest pub ?"
(Answer: Men never have a problem finding the nearest pub).

If you wish to be clinical, "vulva" is a much more accurate term, although I prefer to use the word "pussie" (furry and nice to stroke).

I've been a naturist for years and many times I've been asked questions like "Do the women show their vaginas ?" - and I have to point out that a woman would have to be in a very specific type of position to do that.

BTW - why is the simple Anglo-Saxon term "cunt" thought to be so disgusting ? - it is used quite casually (and unselfconciously) in much prose from the period.

In theatrical circles(which I frequent from time to time) conversations often turns to stories about John Geilgud, generally based on his legendary forgetfulness and total lack of self censorship when talking.
   Anyway, a good one I heard concerned Sir John arriving at a dinner party with his latest leather-jacketed bit of rough in tow. Gielgud meticulously introduced him to everyone"Larry, this is Rufus, Ralph this is Rufus etc etc" (OK I may be improving the story a bit with extra distinguished guests). Anyway, the young man seemed to be getting more and more embarrassed, and eventually mumbled an apology and vanished to go to the loo. At this point, Geilgud said "Oh dear, silly, silly me. I've just remembered Rufus isnt his name at all; that's what I call his cock".

I can't believe this friggin' thread......Not the first mention of "dick" anywhere I can see, although I may have missed it. "Dick" is, I am willing to bet, used at least twice as much as any other euphemism in the U.S. And this thread never mentions it???? Obviously we're into politish things and not street lingo.

When I was introduced into the mysteries of love by a quite older and very experienced lady, she unfortunately didn't use a language as shameless as her behaviour. She insisted that I called hers "Lady Jane". So I chose for mine "Major Tom", and told her: You also may sir him.
Otherwise I use the usual dialect terms of my county to desribe the parts in question.

Interesting observations when with the peasants over here:
"Let's hang our sprinkle-tools together"
"Let's hide a sausage"

Another observation: A comrade had the nickname Bubi (little lad). When American soldiers heard him called so, they started a big laugh, understanding Boobie. The laugh was even bigger when I was called with the usual abbreviation of my name: Willie. At first we didn't understand their hilarity. So please call me Bill, Will, or anything else, but never Willie.

I spent a few moments trying to conjure up image connections (possums, pogo sticks ...) that would make that make sense.
Or was it because Pogo was so wise?
...Nah, that's definitely not it! :lol

Amergin [i]"My brain"[/i] Good one!

Why do men name their penises? The way I've heard it is it's
"Because they want to be on a first name basis with the guy who's in charge!"

Dave Bryant,
THANK YOU for pointing out the distinction between "vulva" (or "pussy) and "vagina" (something hardly anyone but the gynecologist ever SEES)! Playboy centerfolds often show their labia (majora and majora), their vulvas (sometimes even their Volvos) -- yeah, their pussies, but I have yet to see one of their vaginas! ;-)

OK, so some of you want musical relevance?
How about "Dickie-die-do" (sp?) as a slang word for "pussy?" (From "The Mayor Of Bayswater" -- "The hairs on her dickie-die-do hung down to her knee."

Come to think of it..."George Bush" is an absolutely superb name for a penis, but I think I'll choose to leave mine nameless.

If it's any help, Shalom, I had a friend years ago who called his "Little Wally" (much to the amusement of all of us). He was a bit immature, and found women so terrifying that he was barely able to look directly at them or speak to them, despite inwardly desiring them, but he assured us that Little Wally was simply gigantic when aroused. Uh-huh. Usual story. The problem was that the female half of the population never got to offer any testimonials about it at all. Sad, really. That was back in the early 70's. I hope he has made some progress in the intervening years.

From the philologue's point of view, this is one of the most interesting threads I have encountered so far.
I very much appreciate the last contribution with the expression from NZ. I had some difficulties (as a non native speaker) to decipher the slew and did a long search through online dictionaries. Which of the following entries does give the meaning intended?

slough 1 also slew (sl) n.
1. A depression or hollow, usually filled with deep mud or mire.
2. also slue A stagnant swamp, marsh, bog, or pond, especially as part
   of a bayou, inlet, or backwater.
3. A state of deep despair or moral degradation.

slough 2 n.
1. The dead outer skin shed by a reptile or amphibian.
2. Medicine. A layer or mass of dead tissue separated from surrounding
   living tissue, as in a wound, sore, or inflammation.
3. An outer layer or covering that is shed.


BTW. some 30 years ago Peter Rühmkorff wrote a book Über das Volksvermögen (ambiguous: About the People's Property Assets / the People's Ability), where he collected and discussed a lot of bawdy folk songs and verses, partially concerned with the theme threaded here. Awfully funny, indeed.
