Preferred name for female genitalia

pussy, vag, fanny, v-j, snatch, monkey, beaver, box, muff --there are lots of names. but which do women prefer?

I think I did a thread about a hundred years ago on the slang names for female masturbation, e.g. "clubbing the clam" and found it was mostly guys who answered.

Them gals must be sworn to secrecy, or (more likely) they haven't got a Y chromosome and therefore are too busy thinking about whether their ass is too big, or not big enough, or if they remembered to feed the fish or cats or what are they going to make for dinner and was she insinuating that I am low class by that remark I wonder if there is a sale on english muffins at the store this week, we can freeze the extras Sally hasn't returned my call I wonder if she is ok, that guy she is going out with is such a jerk, I think she needs to work on her self esteem, how come my trainer makes that funny face when I am on the adductor machine? I don't know if I should continue my membership there...

Oh my God. He gets it.


I don't really have a preferred term. Not really. Most I don't mind. I have terms I detest. Don't like the word 'pussy'. Dunno why, always found that one an uncomfortable fit. Don't mind 'cunt'. Or 'Vag', or 'Bajina' *grins*. But not pussy. Always sounds fucking dumb to me. Don't think it works when an English guy says it.

There was a couple I used to know in Bolton. They lived in the flat below us. For some reason this topic of conversation came up at a party and apparently, he called it her little flower. *blinks* This of course led to this poor girl being greeted with "Hey, Lisa! Show us Your Flower!" for about the next five years :P

Im happier calling people "cunts" than refering to a vagina that way.

But in a humourous context (telling a story or recounting something I have read) I'll use comedy names. Growler always makes me laugh. The cutesy euphemisms of tuppence or twinkle work when expressing shock. Lady garden is best if I'm not sure of my audience.

My circle of female acquaintances are fond of "nu-nu" or "noonie". Selene has held women's gatherings known as "Color Your Cunt", wherein the ladies color and elaborately decorate line drawings of a plethora of different pudenda shapes and sizes. Generally, here at home, we refer to the organ as "pussy", although "snatch" is not unknown.

That whole 'fishy' thing really pisses me off as well. As a young woman growing up I was fucking neurotic about how I may or may not smell. Because of lads constantly making references to the fishy thing (not about me...just generally about girls). Made me very uncomfortable about the whole thing. In fact I still am. I am still deeply uncomfortable about letting a guy (even one much loved) go down on me. And that is mainly because of being made to feel that way about female genitalia whilst growing up. Just the very thought that there might be an unpleasant smell (how would I know?) put me off.

Growing up as a girl, you spend an awful lot of your life being given some very strange and confusing messages. On the one hand, it would appear that the main reason lads want you is for your lady garden...on the other hand the lady garden is characterised as smelly and ridiculous.
Undertoad • Apr 27, 2009 2:58 pm
Maybe not smelly, but it is ridiculous and so is the penis. What a ridiculous design. Any engineering student could do better.

Who came up with the idea of putting our urine output holes right there as a part of our genitals? I guess there was to be only one male thingie for all fluids to come out of, but that's no excuse for the female.

They could have routed the urine to the anus. And then it would fulfill a cleaning function as well. But no. I suspect a committee design.

dana: my own experience is thus --i'v only heard young twits and asian women make fish jokes. having been near a female once or twice myself, i can say the only thing that's ever smelled bad to me is sweat, and that was only once (hint --no matter how horny you are, never let a guy go down on you if you've been wearing some sort of heavy tights all day). like mtp said, a bad smell is a sign of a problem. but if there's no problem, you shouldn't worry about it. spoken bluntly --i like the smell, i like the taste, and if i could shave with pussy juice every morning that'd be fine with me :D if i were you i wouldn't worry about it. (and don't douche btw. it screws up the natural balance of things and actually throws the smell off itself. leave douching to the hookers)
and yes, it is in some sense true that the coochie is our first concern (since i'm just getting a list of humorous terms and few actual preferences, i'm just gonna use whatever term pops into my head). this is true for most of us, whether we admit it or not, otherwise we'd have no preference between male and female. that said, however, once some guy has picked you out of the thousands of females around, i'd say there's probably more to it than just _that. :p

i doubt i will find an etymology for "queef" even in the oed, but my guess is it arose as a sort-of-onomatopoeic word for the sound/event it refers to (when a penis forces air out of a vagina). i know of no other meaning for the word, nor of any more 'proper' term for the same thing (unless you wanna try "vaginal flatulence" haha. i don't), nor have i seen the word habitually used in some way that would give it some secondary color or connotation that would justify a guilt-by-association prejudice against it (i myself hate the word "cunt" for just this reason, because i have most often heard it used to call a woman a 'cunt', and almost invariably by the sort of guys who hate women and probably hit their wives. e.g. "i can't believe that CUNT called the cops on me. i should've blacked BOTH her eyes!").
is this like my prejudice against 'cunt'? or am i missing something? :p

Trilby • Apr 30, 2009 12:57 pm
CUNT
KUNA = meant both Mother Earth in BASQUE old Indo European language and YONI
CUNTRY meaning Earth Goddess = country
As late as 1700 English peasantry still used this word CUNT with respect. Often it would be associated with a river or a township by a river mouth (river CUNNIT, now the river Kennet; township in Roman times called CUNETIO
since 1740 this word CUNT had been held to be obscene and was a legal offence to print it in full, thus the Partridge Dict of Slang (1726) writes the word C*NT (Silbury treasure 110)
VULVA is the accepted replacement for CUNT
KALI is one of the titles of the great Devi of ancient India, the goddess was called KUNTI yoni of the UNIVERSE
Many words and concepts come from this ancient word
CUNINA the Roman Goddess who guards children in the cradle
CUNABULA cradle, earliest abode, the place where everythig is nurtured in its beginnings
CUNICLE a passageway (underground); a hole
CUNNE; to enquire into, to explore, to have experience of, to prove, to test, to taste
CUNNING; to know, possessing a practical skill, able, skilful, clever, possessing a magical knowledge
1874 "I threatened to prosecute the village CUNNING WOMAN whose herbal knowledge and other wisdom continued to be held in high esteem by the villagers" (Silbury 112)
KUNTA (Norse) gave rise to the family of words such as KIN OF THE KUNT

The goddess was seen as the PATHENOGENIC; the sole CREATIX of the universe
In other words the oldest meaning of VIRGIN is, creation without a male
CUNT
21st Century
Etymology: Middle English CUNTE akin to low German KUNTE
Usally obsene referring to a woman's VULVA
also coitus with a woman
usally disparaging


CHRISTIAN CUNNUS DIABOLI = Devilsh cunt = woman + expression of hate

1874 "I threatened to prosecute the village CUNNING WOMAN whose herbal knowledge and other wisdom continued to be held in high esteem by the villagers" (Silbury 112)


Note that the author himself does not hold the woman in high esteem.The villagers hold her in high esteem. He is using the word 'cunning' in its perjorative sense: her knowledge and wisdom is of a dangerous and immoral form. It is not the virtuous learning of an educated man, rather it is the depths to which a woman can sink if her passions and natural proclivities are not contained. By 1874 there had already been at least 100 years of holding up 'cunning' as one of the vices women naturally tend to if not given a proper education. The lower-orders also, were considered to have 'cunning' naturally.

From memory, I've read that cunt is derived from latin, Cunare, meaning wedge, and this is the root (ahem) for cunnilingus, the application of the tounge to said area.
I was a bit puzzled though, I guess the pubic hair is vaguely wedge shaped, but I don't see much wedgeiness in the vulva/vagina itself. (I'll have to look into it more closely!)
I can understand, however, cunare meaning wedge being related to cunning, meaning clever/effective. Splitting, lifting or whatever is often made easier by use of a wedge. And golf.

actually, if you're gonna nitpick, it's worth noting that the quote says that the woman's "knowledge and wisdom" were held in high esteem by the villagers. i can have great esteem for my doctor's skills and still think she's an ass.
zen: my own memory is often wrong. i definitely recall seeing "cunni" used as a slang term somewhere tho, and it seemed to carry a slightly vulgar tone.
and, since i personally used to call a gf's pubic region in general "the triangle" i can fully understand "the wedge". yeah, this was mainly based on the natural shape of the pubes, and also just kind of the shape of that fine area, where the planes of her hips and perfectly flat stomach converged to point to the promised land....






<...sigh>
DanaC • May 1, 2009 2:46 pm
Yes, her knowledge and wisdom is held in high esteem by the villagers, but his designation of her particular kind of knowledge as 'cunning' is heavily imbued with significance. It could only be, in the gendered semiotic of eighteenth and nineteenth-century British culture. It is perjorative in the same way sinister is. Sinister is perjorative because of it's association with left-handedness and homosexuality; cunning is perjorative because of its feminine associations. The culture that produced that tag had spent a century and more reducing female wisdom's cultural status to something less rational or relevant than male wisdom: 'cunning' despite his other references to knowledge and wisdom is 'untutored' and 'natural' ie. female; and potentially dangerous.

i'm wondering if 'cunning' mightn't also be related to 'ken' (which sounds scottish to me, but i don't have a proper dictionary around..)

kennen ... German, "to know" in the sense of to be familiar with, to be acquainted with (as opposed to factual knowledge).

Could well be a connection then. Both are informal types knowledge.

my own memory is often wrong. i definitely recall seeing "cunni" used as a slang term somewhere tho, and it seemed to carry a slightly vulgar tone.


Yes, I've seen cunni and cunny used frequently in erotic writing, usually in a female narrative. Not necessarily written by a female, but a female character's musings in the story.

I left out the Spanish ones. Translated, they make no sense. Plus, I can't spell in Spanish.

BrianR • May 2, 2009 11:29 pm

I beg to differ. Hace is pronounced AhThay. At least according to my HS Spanish teacher.
