Call It What You Will

Muffin. Hoo-hoo. Cookie. Haw-haw. Peechka. Punani. In a gaping cavernous word; Vagina. Johnson. Wiener. Peter. Peeper. Schlong. By a firm and probing resemblance; Penis. Just one of the on-going debates...what ever does one explain to a child in which way to reference their anatomy? Pointing out the various listed playful acronyms we like to call our 'uglies' that bump; it's difficult to miss that many of them are items of food, while almost as many proper names. Our psychological selves could certainly gather round the vast harvest table and feast on the buffet while debating whether the food innuendos are a simulation in act or purely coincidental in their striking comparison; whether in shape, smell, etc. The ones that sound like caveman chants around the bonfire...we'll just give a nod to Mother and her infinite wisdom in child rearing. Textbook terminology was not her decided path. I must admit that foreign pronunciations becoming a part of English colloquialisms such as the Easter European or East Indian phonetics spoken to earlier (word 5 & 6 respectively of this piece) is both entertaining, and if necessary, educational. In recent years there have been two very successful, widely popular and hilarious touring shows entitled 'The Vagina Monologues' and 'The Puppetry of the Penis'. Is their triumphant staying power in the live entertainment circuit one that has been because we are so intrigued? Curious as to everyone else's very demonstrative thoughts exhibited on our 'private parts'? Whatever your preference in pet name for the nether regions, have fun with them; literally.
