Would A Rose By Any Other Name Smell As Sweet?

Posted by Ina Maier

It's an age-old question that no one can ever seem to find the right answer to: What on earth does one call the vagina? Annalisa Barbieri over at the Guardian passed the puck to her readers and was duly rewarded. We've compiled the top ten twat names submitted after the jump.

Twinkie

Sparkly Bits

Half Penny (Explanation: "My mother and her mother, etc, referred to it as a 'ha'penny' - and generally only in the reminder to "keep yer 'and on yer ha'penny" when unsupervised." Solid advice.)

Fine China

Little Potato

Pinky Bo-Bo

Schmooey

Quim

Ruminella (Ed Note: This sounds like a disease.)

And, finally, the unexplainable and unpronounceable: Bwpen

So, what exactly do you call your special spot? And what word do you plan on using when describing it to your children?

In the spirit of sharing: we're partial to pussy. Though sparkly bits does have a nice ring to it.

Warning: This Skirt May Turn Into A Giant Vagina

Yes, Virginia. You can have your own face in your vagina. And the FDA approves it!

Cunt! All the way! Though I really like sparkly bits and will have to add that to my repertoire. :)

In high school, my friends and I decided it should have a decidedly girlish, cute name, so we started calling it "jenny."

I know a bunch of girls who refer to their vagina as their "fajoots", which i quite like.

I called it "susie" freshmen year in college but loved when Chelsea Handler called it her "peekacho" on Chelsea Lately.

Okay, a woman I know called it her "deli meat disaster" or something like that - I think that was it.

Usually "cooter" in normal conversation. Pussy if it's dirty talk. Cunt if it's really dirty talk.

"poon-a-nee" (well, that's how it's pronounced. god knows how you spell it.) that's in conversation with friends, "vagina" when speaking in serious conversation, and "pussy" when the lights are low.

I like to use yoni in day to day talk. I found it in a kama sutra book and it doesn't have many associations with it being a foreign word and all. Been using that for years now. I definitely use pussy when the lights are low. I only use cunt as a pejorative.

Peeper (when we were kids). Ursula it was named by my high school bf (he was weird just to be weird).

My mom always told us to call it our fuzzer growing up. I still call it a fuzzer now.
