Wenis or Penis?

[vitolochica]

that is the question...my roommate Naked Camille and I were discussing terms for our fave body parts and I was telling her that I really like the word "wenis" for penis (Mike's fave word to make it PJ related) but I don't mind saying the other ones as well, however, we find that we say penis more often than not....I guess we were wondering what you guys/gals like to say...and while we're at it, Naked Camille and I, also discussed how we dislike the words "pussy" because it sounds boring, squishy, and unempowering and "cunt" just sounds dirty and overused..."snatch" is kind of in between, slightly better, but still not good enough....we need to find a better word...a more seductive, sweet, empowering and no NOT "flower" ala Monica Gellar...

Do you peeps have any suggestions?

vaginas are way too complicated. goes along with the whole woman theme. like they can be moody, there's no good phrase meaning to stimulated them orally, and, as you said chica, there's not even a good name for they, themselves. hmmmm, pussy isn't too offensive, but i wouldn't ever really say 'my pussy this or my pussy that' i think i usually reference the thing as box. like my box. but that sounds dumb too. i'm a big fan of wenis, altho some others i like include unit and wiener, and perhaps cock, depending on the situation. i can only imagine how many hundreds of names poopypants could rustle up for us:)

I like LOVE MUSCLE - don't know why.
I also like COCK, don't know why.

I think we should call it a LOVE PEACH - don't know why.
I also like HONEY MAKER, still don't know why.

as a parent of a member of the new generation, we are told to use proper terminology for body parts, so in our house, penis it is. I'm always answering penii questions.... tonight's question was "Do some people have a bigger penis than me?"... oh yeah... a good one. Right up there with "Does Grammy have a penis?"... (that one was in a store) and.... "Why don't YOU have a penis, Mom. You want one." As for the female terminology, when it comes up (and thankfully it hasn't too often so far) we use the proper terminology.

As for any other situation... well, i don't usually find myself needing to say a word for the female genitals... i guess I just avoid it because I don't like any of them. As for penii (in those "other" situations)... i prefer to use the word COCK! /images/laugh.gif

[The Dude]

Is "dinky" or "doodle" appropriate in your house? Like, "Does Grammy have a dinky? Does she want one?"

[13throwcenter]

nope.... as far as i know, the only word he knows for penis is penis. I'd prefer to keep it that way.

[The Dude]

Too bad. He's missing out on some colorful language. Variety is nice when it comes to noodle names.

[vitolochica]

*LOL*

"Why don't YOU have a penis, Mom. You want one." Asher said that? Really? Oh my...but yeah I'm with you San, COCK rocks (pictures Tom Cruise in Magnolia saying "Respect the cock")... :)

y para ser más franca nadie piensa en ti como lo hago yo aunque te dé lo mismo...

[13throwcenter]

Oh yeah... that conversation went on for a few weeks actually... he could not understand why I didn't have one, why I didn't want one, why I didn't need one... took me right back to Psych 113 and Freud's theory of Penis Envy. He was only THREE then...now the questions only get harder.... some recent stumpers: "What did we use before we had dinosaurs?" "Can you please count to a million for me?" and "Who is the president's president?"

The child is FIVE. I'd prefer he has some respect for the human body.



"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[The Dude]

"Dinky" doesn't seem too harsh.

[13throwcenter]

why not call it what it is? that is the point... don't confuse em with pet names... it's a penis... call it one.



"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[The Dude]

how boring.

[13throwcenter]

again.... the child is FIVE.

Nothing is boring with a five year old. Got any more opinions?

Shit....this is the only part about kids that I like.....I often find it's best to just tell them everything you can. A friend of mune has a 5 year old and she used to annoy the hell out of me. Always showing me barbie dolls and stuff that i couldn't have given a shit about when I was 5 let alone now. Anyway....One night she was asking my buddy why the sky was blue. He didn't have a god answer, so I jumped in and gave her the full on scuentific reason about refraction of light and the colour spectrum. I was amazed. She was captivated. I think it was because I really got into it. We jumped ontpo the web and did some surfing. i showed her how to use a search engine to find her answers, when she couldn't spell, I found a page for her that converted phonetically spelt words into their dictionary equivalents turned it into a button on the browser for her and away she went. I told her that when ever she couldn't get a good answer from daddy or mummy, that she should jump on thr web and find it....

So that's what she does now. Of course she has run away from the computer leaving it logged in and running up huge phone bils sothat she can watch TV or play with her friends, but this is a different issue. She learning actively now and when ever I come over, she at least has some interesting things to say.

Anyway,m when Asher asks you why you want a penis fromnow on, tell him that women can have as many as they want and that you have a couple rught now.....let him think about that for a while.

I prefer COCK and i will call a vagina lotds ofthings depending on what sort of mood I am she are in......

[The Dude]

Yes I do. You shall call the couch a "comfy long-chair".

[13throwcenter]

Asher totally digs it when we get into the explanation thing, and whenever he has questions I can't answer, we hit the net. He used to be obsessed with what time it was in China, so we found web cams so he could see what was going on there at that time. I hate it when parents pass off kids' questions with shit answers as if the kids can't understand... that's just parents being lazy or not knowing the answers themselves. Man, you should have heard me in the grocery store trying to explain the concept of negative numbers to him last week...he always has to ask how cold the freezers in the frozen food section are, and I told him "minus 20 degrees"... he was SO frustrated because he couldn't understand what I was saying... too heavy of a concept for him to handle but he asked so I tried.

Heh...I just watched ET with himfor like the third time tonight and God, i should have counted the questions... they were non-stop through the ENTIRE movie!!!

i think you are missing the point here.
a couch is a couch is a couch.
a penis is a penis is a penis.



"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[The Dude]

In a bland world, you are correct.

[13throwcenter]

don't mean to be "abrasive," but my world is *quite* colorful, thank you.

"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[The Dude]

Nice carry-over from the PM. Way to keep things private. Color is good though. Keep the color.

[RogueTrader]

It is parents being lazy if they don't go for the answers....My parents used to do it all the time. It's lucky I am as naturally inquisitive as i am....My mother once used the 'Children should be seen and not heard' explanation when i stumped her one time. That still pisses me off when i thik about it.

Try the '3 stages of matter' explanation for him on the temp front. Use water as an example. There was this show on TV in Aus when i was a kid, called the 'Curiosity Show' i was addicted. They would talk about cool stuff like the fastest way to get water pout of a bottle (by swirling it) and how to suck an egg into a bottle with a match and about tempreture. I was about 6 or 7 when i got this one. They talked about how water and all matter, has three states Gas, Liquid and solid. they used water as the example. Below 0 c water freezes (solid) between 0 and 100 c, it is a liquid and above 100c it is a gas....that's the key concept, not the subjective relitivistic tempreture scale. it worked for me.

[13throwcenter]

it was more the concept of the backwards numbers that he didn't get... you know... -25, -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ... he kept saying... "so it's the same thing as 20, right? You know it is, just say it is!" Finally, i had it, and I go... "yeah, Ash, it's the same thing as 20" and of course he goes... "but is it reeeeeeeaallllly???"

The kid is too damn smart for his own good!


"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[RogueTrader]

He'll be fusing atoms and diving into black holes before he's 20.

Howard Roark laughed......

[13throwcenter]

i'm serious... this kid does simple math in his head on a regular basis... for example..."Mom, how many months are in a season?" "about 3" "how many days are in a month? "about 30" "what's 30+30+30?" "ninety"..."so there are about 90 days in a season then?"

i think my jaw hit the floor after that one.


"No More Airplanes Tour 1974"

[RogueTrader]

That's cool....this is a tough thing though....do you let it develop naturally or do you push him into an area that mightnot be something he likes......I don't envy you the responsibility....

M

----------------------------------------------
Howard Roark laughed......

[13throwcenter]

no question... let it develop naturally. Honestly, I think EVERY child has the capabilities to do what my kid can do, it's all a matter of how you talk to them and what you expose them to. He has been totally into math and numbers for a while, and I just got him a reading game from the library so now we are working on letter sounds and he seems to be totally digging it. We just let him go at his own pace, feed his interests as they go. Btw, he intends to be a train engineer of a (rainbow painted steam train) when he is 32 years old. /images/laugh.gif

i dont know san, but if my son (not that i have one /images/wink.gif) asked me if i wanted a penis.....i would have to say, good god, YES /images/tongue.gif

hey Michael, thanks... good to hear that once in awhile, especially on a night when I am being told how abrasive and obnoxiously arrogant I am by a perfect stranger.
