Unfortunately, one of the posters on here is called what my friend used for her girls: minkey.


Everytime I see a post from him/her, I can't help but snigger.


We used 'noonie' for when my daughter was very little, but now she's a teenager, it's all very clinical.

Fanny-Ann (courtesy of my Granny), Fanjo or much more usually - Vagina. (No surprises there!)


Never heard of Minky though, too close to 'Monkey' for my liking. Nooooooooooo!


HH, your post made me laugh out loud - I seem to spend my whole life saying "don't say 'bum' say 'bottom'" to my kids. It's become something of a family catchphrase over the years. I can just see their faces if I started to call a vagina "front-bum", I might just try it just to see the look on their faces!

I have a boy - but like Keef I will use correct terminology. (By the way - the outer bits are actually vulva and not vagina.) I can't help it- my mom was a nurse and I was raised to use the correct words. In fact, I wasn't allowed to say that a baby was in someones belly. My mom always corrected me and said "No, the baby is in her uterus." I was probably the only toddler who knew what a uterus was!


My mom also used to make us watch a video called "Strong Kids Safe Kids" starring The Fonz. A man with a guitar played a song about the names for all of the private parts. I still remember the verse on vulva:


Vulva is what girls have down below

Vulva is the proper word to know

So know matter how you say it, Just make sure you know

Vulva is what girls have down below.


Hilarious. My sister and I sometimes still watch it for sh!ts and giggles.


In all seriousness, looking back it was actually a great video and says a lot that my sister and I both still remember it.


Have now completely strayed from topic, but there you go.

Our girls must all be so confused by the lack of consistency!


Loving the 'vulva' rhyme in all its silliness. That was the word the scanning man used to confirm the sex of our daughter at the 17 week scan. "I am sure its a girl: that's a vulva". We were both a bit taken aback. Not sure why exactly, but probably not as taken aback as we would have been had he come out with 'fanny fanackers'.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
