The #Vagina: Like God, its Name is Too Wonderful/Disgusting to Be Spoken unless in Euphemism

I'm not even sure if vagina's not 'a euphemism' too (just like "God" is a euphemism for 'the name of Our Heavenly Father who hears The Holy Spirit's interpretation of our infantile wailings, as he did the infantile wailings of His Only Begotten Son').

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to my confession brought on by the exemplary feminism of a character in one of my 'guilty pleasures') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Vagina” (the Female's Sexual Passage from the Vulva to the Uterus) is built on ancient words that mean |Sheath, |Scabbard, |Covering of an |Ear of Grain, |Hull, |Husk (perhaps cognate with words that mean "to Cover with a Hollow Thing").






  • Some of the 'euphemisms' for The Vagina:
  • Vag - obviously just an abbreviation
  • VaJayJay - a play on the word
  • Cunt
  • Twat - with 'cunt,' frequently said by Billy Butcher- but defended as 'truly strong' by Hughie Campbell-in Amazon Prime Video's Tʜᴇ Bᴏʏs
  • Pussy
  • Pudenda

    And a hundred-or-so others, including:
  • Labia
  • Vulva
  • Clitoris/Clit
  • Crease
  • Slit
  • Pink Pearl
  • Her Flower (Flower-Pot)
  • Between Her Legs
  • Folds
  • Her Center
  • Canal
  • Groin
  • Mons (Mount of Her Arousal)
  • Her Sex
  • Wet Curls
  • Coffer
  • The Netherlands
  • Pie-Corner
  • Altar of Venus
  • Beaver
  • Taco (Pink Taco)
  • Fish Lips/Tuna Town/Catfish
  • Camel Toe
  • Cookie

  • Nookie/Nook
    the main reason I won't use the euphemism "box"

  • Cooter
  • Muff
  • Punani (Poon, Poon Town, PoonTang)
  • Minge
  • Quim
  • Bearded Clam
  • Gash
  •                          and a bunch more that I've never heard (because they're either 'the webmaster being "creative" in describing the female genitalia' or because they're 'foreign slang' ... see the 'a hundred-or-so other'-link)
