funnily enough I actually refer to it as 'my area'

My favorite term is "quim." I think it's a hilarious word. It was a rude slang term in the 1600s, but the first time I saw it was in a translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The goddess Ishtar is lusting after a gardener, and she commands him, "Put out your hand and stroke my quim!" Now every time I use the word, I feel like a goddess.

Umm.... when not a vagina...?

My lady parts. Also, my junk/bits/thang but I definitely say "my" like "mah" in that case. That pretty much covers it.

Hahaha, "covers" it.

On a related note, I refer to my feminine products to my boyfriend as "my equipment." He doesn't care if I say pads or tampons, but I can ask him in highly public places if I've got equipment at his place. I think it sounds cool. I can always cover up and say "Oh, I meant my fencing/climbing equipment."

It's brilliant.

It always annoys me when people attempt to use "vagina" as an "edgy" term. WTF, I walk around with it every day, why would I be afraid of the snarling death-trap between my thighs?

It's like yelling "penis" in public. I remember fancying this guy who thought it was awesome/hot that I had no problem saying the word "penis" aloud loudly. That's not why I fancied him, though.

Back on subject, I either call them my "ladybits" or " 'giner ", depending on the occasion (yes, them. I don't know why I have decided it is plural". It's more of affection than anything else, though there are some people who like to shoot dirty looks when I say "vagina", or the people who faint at the slight mention of menses/blood. I like to refer to my period as "the horses", and my cup as "the barn", because I joke that I bleed like a horse in a dog food factory. I call my breasts "boobles", because "boob" sounds weird, and oh how I loathe the words "tits"/"titties".

Quim, while it amuses me when I think of it, reminds me of the creepy porn I read when I was younger. No quim for me.

I call it my "girl place," and generally refer to my period as my "girl time." Not that I won't or don't also say "vagina" and "period," but when I have to, say, ask my husband to pick up tampons, I tell him it's girl time and I need some girl things. It seems to work.

Disneyworld is an acceptable place for both babies and Brazilians.

I actually refer to my area! My husband thinks it's hysterical. I also like to jokingly refer to my 'front bottom' which is a british euphemism.

I have to say, I prefer "cunt" (can I say that here?) to anything else. I find it harsh, but not especially offensive. I'm also not offended by "pussy" or really much else. The only term I find truly distasteful is "twat" -- it just sounds slimy somehow.

Muchi (moo-she) in public- I read that it's vulgar german slang, but I like that no one knows what I'm talking about.

Just wanted to point out that vulva is the correct term for the whole area, while vagina refers specifically to the internal tube.

Working in science and dating a sex educator will do wonders for that kind of information (:

How about "weezer"?

I call the whole shebang "my business." I also call The Beard's whole shebang "his business."

Sometimes we get crazy-like and do some business, if you catch my meaning.

Well, I don't really talk about it that much. My mother stressed appropriate terminology growing up, but I really don't like the work vulva. Vagina is fine, but what am I going to say about it? Once a month, I tell my husband that it might be good weekend to plan a fishing trip. Although, growing up I always referred to it as having relatives in town (Aunt Flo). When that was overly subtle, which it rarely was, I just said I had an ear ache.

my friends and i call it pagina. not as blunt as vagina, a bit humorous and it rolls off the tongue easily enough

To Wendy at Disneyworld:

Your comment made me laugh out loud. I want to refer to my stuff as a theme park now.

To Lexie:

'Muschi' is indeed a German term, though it's more homely and slightly oldfashioned (think 70s) than vulgar. What creeps me out is that it's also a very common name people give their cats here. I can never get myself to call those cats by their name. The former Bavarian Prime minister made the presses when he mentioned that was his pet name for his wife.

A German term I'm halfway ok with is 'Möse' (pronounced 'meusuh', though that's for lack of a better term and too raunchy for polite company.
I tend to use Buchse (pronounced 'bookseh'), because 'Unterbuxe' is a fun word for underwear in German, also a 'Buchse' is a power outlet, which I think fits rather well :)

I can't believe this topic is the one to get me commenting here. I refer to my stuff as Ms. Meow Meow.

I call it my "V"
Simple, friendly, short and sweet.

I guess I'm the only one who calls it my pussy? Seems like a term of endearment to me...

I call it my Mary, or my Rose, sounds nicer than "front bottom" I think, which may I point out as a British woman, is Not a British Euphemism that I've ever heard...

Now, I'm a man, and I work in sexual health, so I have to talk about vaginas with women a fair bit, and I must say, vulva and vagina are such lovely words to use in conversation, as opposed to the male equivalents of penis and scrotum... yuk.

My women friends have all kinds of names for their vaginas, including vajayjay, muffs, frontbums, secret gardens, ladybits, muchachos and one friend who insists that it is her cunt and will never be anything else.

I just posted on here to say that I love (as a gay man) everything about vaginas and vulvas, and more power to women everywhere to call it what you like, but enjoy it.
