Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

Ever searched in a patients' room for what you thought she said she needed to "watch her pocketbook" , she staring at you and you staring at her. Then finally saying, mam what color is your pocketbook because I don't see a pocket book here. Only to have her say, no get my washtub out of the drawer, my washcloth and soap. I always like to wash my pocketbook before I go anywhere. Especially down for tests. And close that curtain, too. Then you say, Oh.

My husband says he used to call the lady parts a "pecan". We are from south Louisiana

[grace90, LPN, LVN]

I've heard females call it a 'twat' before

[RanieRN, MSN, RN]

I have a co-worker who refers to peri care as "a mouse wash".

My oldest daughter (who's now 20) has always used "girl parts" despite (or in spite of) being taught all the anatomically correct terms.

And the youngest boy came up with "wee wee" all on his own!

I hear "downstairs" refering to lady parts. Hahahaha. I call memberes peniers.

[Diary/Dairy, RN]

WOW - this is one interesting thread!! Pecan is a new one for me!!

My mom used to refer to my sisters and my crotch as a "po-po". Never heard it anywhere anyone else.

Do the men call theirs a twit then?? Ha ha:lol2:

[agent66]

I have heard many funny ones but "muffin" by a little old dolly was pretty funny. And a fellow who called it the dickie bird. You just smile and give them their meds and a glass of water.

My 3 y/o refers to her front parts as "hiney" and her back parts as "butt" so when she is talking about the whole thing she says it is her "hineybutt".....she knows the proper words, but the way she pronounces them are reallly bad, so we go with hineybutt.

[ERRNTraveler, RN]

Labia = "piss flaps" or "beef curtains"

A man's peri area = "ABC" (Ass-Ball Connection)

[JennaRN1006]

Had a lady complete a health questionnaire and stated she had had "a hysterical rectum". Imagine my relief when I learned she actually had had a hysterectomy.

hahaha -- thats funny!

[loriann, BSN, RN]

I had a 45 y/o man who couldn't say member and instead called it his lightsabre.

[loricatus]

Just had an old man that said something like "You're not going to put one of those things up MY STANLEY" Is this some kind of old expression expression for it????
