Can We Please Just Say 'Vagina' Instead of These 50 Other Slang Words?

Say it with us now: “Penis, penis, penis. Vagina, vagina, vagina.” For far too many people, saying the phallic anatomy aloud comes much easier than the yonic. In these parts we love making sure our vulva/vagina owning friends and those that love them feel empowered to talk about their bodies and all their parts — so it’s important that we set the standard to say what we mean when we talk about these parts. And, again, we mean vaginas (which are not a dirty word!)

Our society is totally cool with throwing around slang terms for vagina — whether affectionately, with an attempt at avoiding vulgarity or with the express purpose of being vulgar — that are infinitely creepier and way more offensive than the medical term. Too often we teach our kids cutesy terminology that only works to reinforce the vagina as some unknowable, inappropriate thing as opposed to what is, at best, an awesome piece of anatomy that evolves and changes with its owner or, at worst, a neutral body part.

Need proof? We rounded a host of the different words for the female anatomy we could think of — from the tame to the say-whaaat? to the just plain juvenile. It appears that there’s apparently nothing we won’t do to avoid saying vagina, if these words are the ones we’re choosing to run with.

Make it down this list and we’re pretty sure you’ll agree with us that vagina is preferable to this evasive nonsense.
