Subject: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Shalom Date: 07 Jul 03 - 08:48 AM 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 |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Amos Date: 07 Jul 03 - 09:01 AM 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.

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 07 Jul 03 - 09:11 AM Why should I call it? It never writes, it never 'phones.... If I don't start dieting I'll never even see it again, I think it's still there somewhere... RtS |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Dave Bryant Date: 07 Jul 03 - 09:41 AM 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. |

Daughter : Yeuch!! Felicity's gone on edge! Nuff said. |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Rapparee Date: 07 Jul 03 - 09:51 AM Amos, do gentlemen *hunt* foxes? Of either kind? |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Giac Date: 07 Jul 03 - 10:13 AM 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." |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Peter T. Date: 07 Jul 03 - 10:19 AM "Conch" is one a female friend of my acquaintance used to use, which seemed to me to be perfect, given the symbolism, closeness to another word, and general curl up with a good conch imagery. yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: menzze Date: 07 Jul 03 - 10:23 AM It's simply my little friend By the way: did ya ever read the book "Man's Best Friend" by Gray Jolliffe and Peter Mayle published in 1984(!!!) Absolutely necessary for your "research", lots of "informations" about "him", history, etc. etc You can find him f.e. here I've just done a quick google research and I can tell you: he's still alive |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Metchosin Date: 07 Jul 03 - 10:29 AM when we were small our Mum referred refered to my brother's penis as his "little whistle". Come to think of it now, the reference gives a whole other dimension to the term "whistle blower". Never used any euphamisms for genitals, male or female, in our adult life in our own family. |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: katlaughing Date: 07 Jul 03 - 10:29 AM From this old thread, What's a Salty Dog?: My friend and her boyfriend made up a term they could use in public with none the wiser. One day she finally told me what the heck she was talking about when referring to her "twidgett"! Couldn't ya just see the personal ads: Salty Dog heat-seeks twidgett for his moisture missile! (Thanks for those Jeri!) Or... Have I got a ding-a-ling for your twidgett! Dial 1-999-Salty Dog. Or... Fun-loving Twidgett seeks briney canine. Ya know my ex used to work on old cars and was always talking about the "thrusters" on them, I think that had to do with the engine or exhaust system, can't remember which, probably the carb. Anyway it just occurs to me that might be a good name for my SO's Mr. Willie: Thruster! |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 07 Jul 03 - 12:28 PM I am really concerned - one husband ( not saying which one ) used to refer to ladies bits as 'muff' not mens bits well at least thats what I assume he meant when he talked about 'muff diving' Dont have a name for my bits - sorry!! |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 07 Jul 03 - 12:31 PM just remebered - same husband used to call female bits Clarissa - I think it was the same C connection - he referred to his thinggy as Peter - that was a p ( or a Pee) connection!! |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: C-flat Date: 07 Jul 03 - 12:43 PM 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! Fortunately it's not a regular topic of conversation at our dinner table (yet). |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Jul 03 - 12:44 PM You gotta be kidding, Shalom! I don't call my right earlobe anything, and I don't call my left knee anything, and I don't call my "thingie" anything either. I am one unity, Shalom, not a bunch of parts that have to have their own names in order to relate to each other. - LH |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Jul 03 - 12:56 PM Guest is correct: those terms come from India. It's also more typically spelled lingam. And here is another one typical of the search results. SRS |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Kim C Date: 07 Jul 03 - 01:21 PM Maybe so, LH, but when you go to the doctor it helps to be able to tell them which parts are out of order. ;-) |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Catherine Jayne Date: 07 Jul 03 - 01:36 PM My God-Daughter when she was about 3 years old refered to her girlie parts as a mary.

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: The Pooka Date: 07 Jul 03 - 02:54 PM Amos, & hi-ho to you too! "...you seem to be on a roll indeed..." Well you know I'm always a Hotdog. Of course that's my holistic unitary Self, not just some discrete, or indiscreet, Part. Which brings us back to that scratched Volvo, haw haw prettygood...but them foreign parts is Hard to Come by...(Comeallye merrymary ladies, you can do something with that "holistic" now, can't yez?) A. - "But I note you did not, yourself, answer the question! Hmmmmmm?" Nyaah, Hmmmmmm yerself. I refuse to answer on the grounds it might tend to inseminate somebody. Anyway the Naming of Twats is a Difficult Matter. / OKOK so I ain't got one of them Muffets anyway, so sue me, I just had to say it. Look, can we break this down even further (sorry LH), to Subcomponents? Sometimes my Glans answers to "Dubya"...aah just use your Head & you'll get it... "...family referred to male thingies as Poochies..." Poochies izzit, hrrmmph, no, little too close to home, there...Wait, I've got it! (Well. So to speak.) I hereby Dub thee, Musha Lingam. / It's Sanskrit corrupted into Mouthmusic. (Figure of speech.) |
Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: jacqui c Date: 07 Jul 03 - 03:00 PM Amergin - I love that one and it is so apt so often..... Husband no. three used to call his his wriggler, I suppose because it did look a little like a worm..... Isn't it strange that men seem to need to give names to the poor little things more than women do. anybody got any ideas why???? By the way - the speed with which this thread seems to have taken off just shows the sort of minds out there. Keep it up people - in ALL senses of the word! |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jul 03 - 05:17 PM I knew someone who called his Cedric... the female equivelant was Jemima. We have to be caredful, with a 7 yr old who has spongelike memory and ears that would shame a bat..... willies is about the most risque we dare... she wanted to know, at the age of 3, were they useful...... She asked me in the middle of a crowd of testosterone charged men, on their way to a football match on a Saturday afternoon, and she shouted it to make sure I heard it! I'm afraid we stick with minnie for ladies parts now. LTS |

Subject: RE: What do you call your 'thingie'? From: Emma B Date: 07 Jul 03 - 06:04 PM I've just finished my second year of 'nightclass' Spanish so my best friend bought me a book of 'naughty' Spanish. There is a whole section devoted to names for body parts - 115 for the male member alone! These range from the obvious weapons, dagger, club, mallet, sledge hammer,crusher etc. to various vegetables, eggplant, cucumber, corn on the cob etc even a baby's bottle but my favourite is COSITA (lit) little thing (brings us back full circle to thingy) |
