I understand that not everyone likes the word vagina. Honestly, I think it’s just because we associate it with those awkward days of sex education class, when we were all 11 years old, terrified, and just wanted to run back out to the playground. If that’s not why the word irks you, it could just be that it’s so…anatomical. It isn’t playful or sexy. But that’s just because it’s in your language. The Finnish word for vagina is emätin. That doesnt sound so bizarre, right? The Vietnamese word is âm đạo. See—when you’re not used to hearing it, it loses its taboo. Nonetheless, we’ve come up with a lot of nicknames for our precious flower throughout the centuries. Some are kind of cute and fun, but some need to go. Here are nicknames for our vagina: the cute, the funny, and the ones we should retire.
