Granddaughters

Pamela! Mishap

I did know one family where the boys had a Willy and the girls had a Wilma!

Almost as bad as the friend who referred to my goldfish Lysistrata as Clitoris

My Aunt told my cousins they were called Robin/Betsy!! Other family members have all agreed when introduced to someone called Robin, we immediately think of their willies

BTW. fou fou is French for crazy, a bit nutty!

Galen

Slightly off thread, but Agus jogged a memory. I once taught a boy called Robin Banks. I mean, who'd do that to a child?

Galen you had a goldfish called Lysistrata ?

That's exactly right whenim64, the draw round me body always got participants talking about the consent issues around our bodies. I can't remember a course when a new name for male and female bits wasn't learned (by the tutors anyway). Mum was a Manchester lass and we always had front and back bottoms.

What a dreadful thing to do to a child Anya. Your immediate connection will of course be, robbing banks mine, on the other hand......

My littlest calls hers, her flower, and my other dgds used to use 'precious' when they were little.
When I was small it was 'tuppence' or as my mum used to say "keep yer'and on yer 'appenny'!

Cari , puts a whole new light on Morris dancers, jingling their bells and whacking their sticks as they sing "with a hey nunnie no"

(yes, I know it's probably "nonnie" in those old folk songs............)

Sarah Millican says 'nunnie'. It must be a Geordie thing as well as a London one!

When DGD was a baby her mother referred to her 'lady parts'. Don't know if that is still the phrase used.

This reminds me of a time hundreds of years ago when my two DC were in the bath together. My DS (age probably around 4) looked at his younger sister and asked why she looked different to him. A brief explanation followed then he said "so she's just the same as me, just inside out"

BTW it's "bits" in our family too

It was always "nellie" when I was growing up.

Ruby perhaps that's where the phrase 'not on your nellie' comes from. Never thought of that.

Also presumably deflowering a young girl derives from some people referring to their bits as their flower.... never heard of that either.

We always just refer to our bottoms!

I remember an old work colleague saying that she was in so much of a rush one morning that she could only manage a quick of wash of the 3 F's. I admit to having to think about it !

Always been a nunnie (noonie?) in our familu

Family!!

You mean she didn't wash under her arms??

DGD (12) refers to her "girly bits" whilst DGS (11) has always referred to his "trollies" we have no idea where he got it from

Apparently not Ana Bl**dy scruff !

I thought trollies were knickers Glamma!

Me too janeainsworth (as in caught with his trollies 'round his ankles).

BTW my youngest DGD refers to her little brothers undies as his underknickerpants
