Body part lingo (language!)

[Seshat]

So THAT'S what it's supposed to mean? That's terrible.....because I know how it feels.

Mine have been referred to as breasticles, and I'm a G cup. So maybe so - or maybe not.

I always figured that just referred to boobs in general.

Well, that's what he thought it meant.

Somehow, the dirty ones don't piss me off nearly as bad as the ones that try to hide or sugarcoat what the part in question is.

Exactly. Dirty ones I can deal with, the cutesy ones just make me ...what are we, eight?!

I thought va-jay-jay was mildly amusing until I saw in the cover of a Cosmo in the store. Then I just thought it was stupid.

WTF...they actually used it on the cover of a magazine?! Good gravy...it being Cosmo, I'm actually surprised given how explicit they normally are with "position of the minute" articles/covers (although a good deal of that seems like "how far can we go before the censors come down").

"how far can we go before the censors come down").

Apparently, pretty freaking far:

What are some words that are commonly used to describe anatomy that bother you?

"Cunt" is incredibly crass. Just call it what it is, a vagina.

Also anything 'cute' in regards to female anatomy, ie - 'cunny', 'va-jay-jay', etc.

"Va-jay-jay"?! Never heard that one before! That sounds like baby talk.

Just use the correct terms. You're an adult, speak like one.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Okay, there's one I didn't consider.

"Cunny."

Now, THAT'S a stupid word. It's like they started out saying "cunt" and then chickened out at the last moment. I mean, it's a cleaned up vulgar slang. If vulgar slang is too vulgar, then say something that isn't vulgar. Like...on, I dunno, how about vagina?

[Rapscallion]

I t hink 'cunny' is from the Victorian period.

I've never cared for "beaver" and "pussy" as terms for the vagina/vulva.

I don't mind "tits" or "boobs", but I hate "titties" and "boobies". It sounds so juvenile. Oh yeah, and "breastesses". That one irks me.

[DGoddess]

I'm also another one who doesn't care for the word "cunt." Frankly, I find it insulting no matter how it's used.

Of course, I've heard my mom use other words - most infamous term being "icky blossom," which is another one that gives the female genetalia a bad rep.

And the word "pussy" IMO is overused . . . I think I'd rather refer to it as Miss Kitty if I had to choose.

But yet, the words "dick" or "cock" doesn't bother me. Come to think of it, I hear those two terms quite frequently. Even in advertising for adult items, names can make or break a product.

Would you rather buy a penis ring or a cock ring, for example? Out of all the sites I've visited that sell adult toys . . . not one carries a "penis ring."

However, all of them do carry "cock rings." Go figure.

In the interests of researching for this thread, of course... I admire your dedication.

I think Vagoo is hilarious, but then again, I'm perpetually twelve.

(re: Breasticles)

It's been my (admittedly limited, with regard to this term) experience that "breasticles" refers to the breasts of women who gauge their entire self-worth on the size of their breasts - much in the same way many men gauge their self-worth on the size of their penis.

Whether that's talking about small-breasted women with image issues, or large-breasted women who are overly aggressive about their cleavage, either way.

Hmmm....never heard that definition before.

Urbandictionary seems to be unsure/borderline useless on the topic (as per the usual), but definitions seem to gather toward manboobs or saggy boobs.

[DesignFox]

I'm not sure what the real meaning is, but I hate the word breasticles. I think I heard it used once, and verbally bitch slapped the person using it; haven't heard it since.

I dislike the word "cunt" as well. I just think it sounds so harsh. No matter how hard I try to ignore it, the word just BOTHERS me. I won't make a big deal of it, but I just don't associate anything positive with that word.

Oh, and I curse like a sailor...so not much offends me.

Whoever came up with "cunny"? That's worse than just letting the c-bomb drop.

Yick.

[Dreamstalker]

I also can't stand "bewbies" and related lame misspellings. GAH.
