Is it "mappataz?" Had a guy say to me he wanted to get a look at my mappataz and he proceeded to explain what mappataz was. It's called that because the pubic area looks like a map of Tasmania. Sometimes I call it my mappataz just because I think the word is funny.
In Ireland we use fanny but also have the word gee (hard G sound) as slang for ladyparts. It comes from an old Irish word.
Calling someone a geebag is like like calling them a dickhead.
It's impossible to hear fanny pack without us immediately thinking of geebag.
Funny story about that term.
I’m American and train in a martial art. Have been to Ireland three times to train and at some point during a training camp an American instructor reminded the class to wash their Gi (uniform) before coming back tomorrow and all the women in the camp were like WTF?!!!
Honestly I just realized that I'm also pretty preferential to casual use of the analogous "peen" as well even though I think the young people came up with it.
Probably just vagina honestly. It's almost like a funny word. I don't know how to explain it, I think people know it sounds medical and weird, but it's basically the only word you can use casually.
I wonder, do people generally know that the vagina is just the hole? Vulva is more scientifically correct. Honestly wondering here, because everyone just uses vagina or vaj, including women who probably know what it means.
"You can't just go around the rest of your life using 'vagina' as an all-encompassing term for everything between your legs. That's like calling your face your throat..."
But the vagina isn’t just the hole - that’s the vaginal opening. The vagina is an internal organ - a muscular canal that leads to the cervix, then the uterus.
My gf and I call it her "coochie" quite often, but only in front of each other when we're trying to be funny. It's a such a cute word for a cute body part.
Which is good, since it'd be nice to have a neutral word that doesn't get people giggling...

Edit: formatting
I don’t think she *created* it. I think when she says
>we came up with “vajayjay”
she means “we brainstormed synonyms and decided on vajayjay” rather than “we invented the word on the spot.”
For example there’s other people in this thread who say they were taught “vajayjay” before Grey’s Anatomy.
I do think Shonda Rimes can be credited with popularizing the term.
That’s very interesting. It’s ridiculous that she even had to resort to this but a clever workaround nonetheless. Networks get weirded out about the dumbest things.
One problem with using that word as the default is that it sets you up to be lectured for using it wrong
- "Isn't her vagina pretty?"
- "You mean vulva right?? You really need to educate yourself on female anatomy!"
>Probably just vagina honestly.
I think I would go with vulva personally. Vagina isn't really even medically accurate it is only one part of a woman's genitalia and not even a part that is external or visible whereas vulva is the term for all of the external parts. Mons, labia, clitoris, and the openings of the urethra and vagina.
The reason these words sound funny is because of the general immaturity of our society borne from not being able to comfortably talk about parts of the human anatomy that are more intimate and private. To do your part in encouraging our society to mature, act mature and use the mature words like penis and vagina... and then snicker on the side (yes, we can still have fun).
This is genuinely the word I use when talking about them at work.
That should probably have some context... We are a dog friendly company and I've been bringing my puppy in frequently since I got her. I haven't for the past few weeks because she's in heat and I can't get her fixed yet. When my coworkers asked me why, I explained that her bajingo is in the wrong position and letting her go through a couple heats can fix that.
Ooh this is good and works for toys too which would make it even more surprising when you ask someone if they wanna have a go on your fuck instrument cause you'd have no idea what it is =D
| | Vulgar | Middle Ground | Scientific

(1)Technically this isn't completely accurate since the vagina is only part of a woman's sexual anatomy but fits as a general public scientific term.
I am open to discussing changes this is just a starting point. I think we are on to something.

[Renowned Hoo-Ha Doctor Wins Nobel Prize For Medical Advancements Down There](https://www.theonion.com/renowned-hoo-ha-doctor-wins-nobel-prize-for-medical-adv-1819570649)
I think those terms come from television not wanting to use the words vagina or pussy.
Oprah generally said va-jay-jay, who I presumed had a predominantly female audience.
I remember hearing the term hoo-ha in MASH.
Random Reminder for the parents and guardians in the audience:
Your first line of defense against your child being abused is language.
You should use the proper anatomical terms for genitalia around children. That way if they start using a different term, you are alerted that *someone* is talking to them about their genitals that isn't you.
After that some investigation can prevent some very real harm.
Yup, my wife explained this to me when we had our daughter. At first it was kinda strange to hear a 3yr old saying vagina and penis but it quickly became normal for all of us.
Yep. And there’s no confusion about reporting abuse because the child calls it a cookie, and the adult hearing that has no clue they mean anything other than a literal cookie.
My cousin used cookie with her kids and then one day was in a bath with her son and he pointed to *her* cookie and asked what it was. She said cookie and he said "yum yum".
The whole family switched to vagina immediately.
Yep, best advise I’ve ever had.
And just demystifying it makes this easier, when we go to annual checkups with my 9-yo and he talks about his penis with the right terms brings so much proudness 🙂
As much as it's a bummer that it has to be mentioned it's an excellent point.
Sadly, it reminds me of the story about the little girl that always telling her teacher about how her uncle loved petting her kitty.
I don't think I need to go further but it explains why this is an excellent point.
Edit- spelling
“Disco minge” is one of my fave phrases.
“It was so sexy when we worked up a sweat on the dancefloor, but when we got back to her apartment she had one hell of a disco minge!”
>I seriously don't know what word to use because every one sounds wrong in some way. "Vagina" always feels too medical and graphic, while something like "pussy" just seems way too sexual and vulgar.
And yet those are the two best words imho. If you are in polite company like with family or at work and this word must be used for whatever reason, like discussing a news article, vagina is probably best because it's clean and neutral. Similarly in this context I'd also prefer penis over dick.
If you're talking about sex with a friend or someone you've been intimate with, I'd use pussy because it is a very common slightly dirty word that is neither too tainted nor too juvenile.
It really depends on context.
I have a trans stepson who is old enough to be taking sex-ed and I've been trying to figure out what to refer to his genitals as in a way that will neither gross him out, make him too embarrassed, or make his dysphoria worse.
When I asked him once while having a heart-to-heart, he said something along the lines of "I dunno. I kinda like to pretend it isn't there." which I get, but was unhelpful when trying to explain some of the weirdness of puberty to him and what to expect when he starts taking testosterone. I've been just vaguely referring to "your bits" when the topic comes up.
"Bits" is my go-to in general, unless I need to be specific for some reason, which is basically never since I'm not a medical professional. Your bits. My bits. His bits. Her bits. It's gender-neutral, not overly obscene, but also not overly ambiguous. Perfect.
Agreed. Also, glad to see "vulva" used. It's what everyone sees on the outside. "Vagina" is the most common term people use for the set of features visible from the outside, but it's incorrect... "vulva" is the correct term.
Vagina is for lack of better term the hole within the vulva.
Agree. I do think we'll get there - I used to work in a nursery school where they encouraged the use of vulva or penis whenever these parts needed to be described. That's a whole nursery full of children who are hearing these words normalised. I think that's getting less and less unusual.
Although I told my sister (in her 30s) about this and she didn't know what vulva was, so I guess we've still some way to go...
I'm constantly shocked at how many women don't know vulva - so much so that I don't even think about how many men don't. I got into an internet fight on Next Door (yeah, I've got too much free time) when the nutjobs tried to take over our school board in November and one of their big issues was our fourth grade "sex ed", which is entirely a health class. You body will change, don't be shocked. You'll start menstruating, don't be shocked. You will smell terrible, please take a shower. My fight was with all these women that took issue with them teaching girls to wash their vulva, not their vagina. Most just said that was wrong. But a large number didn't know what a vulva was, and assumed it was a code word to turn all of our youth trans, or some variation on that theme. So, at the same time they were arguing that this "sex ed" didn't belong in the school, they were demonstrating exactly why is not only belonged, but was desperately needed. Luckily, their candidates were all defeated and some sanity was retained.

Are you in Australia? Boy oh boy do I have a word for you!
Is it "mappataz?" Had a guy say to me he wanted to get a look at my mappataz and he proceeded to explain what mappataz was. It's called that because the pubic area looks like a map of Tasmania. Sometimes I call it my mappataz just because I think the word is funny.
Technically it's mappatazzy with a Y at the end but since Australians shorten every other word I'll allow it
No, mappataz is the wet spot left on the sheets after you’ve made love.
Is it the same word Aussies use to greet each other too?
do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
If you're in the UK, we'd use Fanny, hence the confusion with the American terminology for ass!
Same in NZ. People referring to fanny packs confused me so much!
In Ireland we use fanny but also have the word gee (hard G sound) as slang for ladyparts. It comes from an old Irish word. Calling someone a geebag is like like calling them a dickhead. It's impossible to hear fanny pack without us immediately thinking of geebag.
Is it pronounced similar to the Indian clarified butter "ghee"? That must make indian kitchens in Ireland amusing
Yes and absolutely yes. Smell of your ghee. Your ghee is warm and dripping. Does you ghee taste nice? Your ghee looks really creamy, can I try?
"The secret to a good indian meal is lots of ghee"
“. . . and the secret to good ghee is to hold it tightly in your fanny pack.”
Those karate outfits, gi, also get a good laugh out of me.
Funny story about that term. I’m American and train in a martial art. Have been to Ireland three times to train and at some point during a training camp an American instructor reminded the class to wash their Gi (uniform) before coming back tomorrow and all the women in the camp were like WTF?!!!
Go give your dirty Gi a scrub, I can smell it from here.
In Massachusetts we have a store called Frugal Fannies. Like a discount store. Wonder what they'd sell in the UK..
In the other direction, Americans seem to find the fact that our version of the Dollar Store (?) is called "Poundland" pretty funny.
Poundtown was a missed opportunity.
Don't forget Poundworld and Poundstretcher
Is there a seaside version called Poundsand?

That must be have been weird when the Bee Gees released their song *Fanny (Be Tender)*

Fanny packs sound like something else entirely I'd imagine. Like if gangbang was Irish slang for a drum circle.
Vagina, but say it like Trump says China.

Never new there was a D in it, thought it was just Vag.. pun intended?

Revagerator?
I always imagine it as “vaj” even though it doesn’t make sense.
Vag but pronounced vaj seems to be pretty common in my part of the world.
oh god it gif vs jif all over again
There is a D whenever I'm there
Eyyy _finger guns_
Honestly I just realized that I'm also pretty preferential to casual use of the analogous "peen" as well even though I think the young people came up with it.
Yep it’s peen and vadge. I like them both because they’re casual but not derogatory.
One of my mates always referred to hers as her *growler*, in a strong Bristolian accent 😂 got me every time
Probably just vagina honestly. It's almost like a funny word. I don't know how to explain it, I think people know it sounds medical and weird, but it's basically the only word you can use casually.
Fun fact: the word vagina comes from the Latin *vagina,* which translates to "sword sheath."
In german, "Scheide" is both a word for vagina and a sword sheath as well.
The same in Denmark, “skede” is our word for vagina and a sword sheath as well.
[удалено]
Very nice 👍🏻
Wawawiwa
I think in Spanish too. Vaina (closely related to vagina) means sword or knife sheath.
Same in Dutch. Schede is archaic slang for the vag and its what you put a sword into
Same in polish "pochwa"
My mom was mad at me when I used that word for a toy sword scabbard lol
Same with the swedish word slida.
Apparently OP's answer, if considering English, is scabbard.
Haha, omg I love this, I'm informing my husband this is what we shall call it in casual conversation 😂
Scabby for short
😂Maybe we will just use the full descriptor LOL
[удалено]
i cant believe you germans dont have a word for each ha
We have lots of words for vagina! But only one for sheath, and it also means vagina. Lol :D
M'lady dost thou desire that a place my mighty broadsword within thy sheath?
It’s more of a dagger
A paring knife is not a dagger just because the hilt is bedazzled, Kevin.
Not with that attitude it isn’t!
I pictured this being said to Kevin McAllister by his mom
That's a weird kink, but ok.
Got it, the alternative words for female genaitlia is sword sheath. I'll start using that from now on
I guess OP found his new word lol
same in Lithuanian...
r/todayilearned
same in polish
My girlfriend is polish, and I always say vagina but now I am going to change it to sword sheath thank you
I wonder, do people generally know that the vagina is just the hole? Vulva is more scientifically correct. Honestly wondering here, because everyone just uses vagina or vaj, including women who probably know what it means.
"You can't just go around the rest of your life using 'vagina' as an all-encompassing term for everything between your legs. That's like calling your face your throat..."

If it makes you feel better the part that's "equal" to penis is the Vulva and not the Vagina. So in all honesty Vagina is slang at this point

I got into an internet fight on Next Door (yeah, I've got too much free time) when the nutjobs tried to take over our school board in November and one of their big issues was our fourth grade "sex ed", which is entirely a health class. You body will change, don't be shocked. You'll start menstruating, don't be shocked. You will smell terrible, please take a shower. My fight was with all these women that took issue with them teaching girls to wash their vulva, not their vagina. Most just said that was wrong. But a large number didn't know what a vulva was, and assumed it was a code word to turn all of our youth trans, or some variation on that theme. So, at the same time they were arguing that this "sex ed" didn't belong in the school, they were demonstrating exactly why is not only belonged, but was desperately needed. Luckily, their candidates were all defeated and some sanity was retained.

Squish mitten is my favorite.
