This is amazing.
“Erotic” thesaurus though? Most of these are hilarious but in a very un-sexy sort of way. Idk unless the term “fuzzburger” gets you going…
I hear “fuzzburger” is an aphrodisiac.
I guess it depends on how you say them. My wife and I have adopted some rather unsexy words into our vocabulary. Although they’re usually used in a more joking-but-still-let’s-have -sex way (or just humorously). Some of which came about by discussing how unsexy they were… Guess we got into the habit.
Fuzzburger >>>>> furburger, though. So there is that.
IDK, I still refer to mine as my “Beaver”, don’t ask me why I just like it LOL.
This immediately came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsvX8GgllaA
same – I knew exactly what this video would be before I clicked on it lol
This article immediately reminded me of The L Word episode where they were listing off names for it. I’ve called mine ‘kitty’ and ‘she/her’ in the past.
I know! My favorite was shane’s: Breakfast of Champions
I don’t know I’ve always liked “vagina” and or “vag” call me old fashioned!
I’d definitely pleasure your hot box until your fluids uncontrollably squirting all over js lol
Best one I’ve ever heard is “downtown dining and entertainment district”.
A really common Irish one is ghee/gee, which has always made eating Indian food slightly uncomfortable.
One of my non-Irish friends’ nickname is G but Facebook don’t let you put an initial so she has Gee instead and yeah.
Words I have seen being used:
Cream factory
Soft shell tuna tacos
Runway
Fish market
Sweet and Lo
I also know a few slangs for it other languages, but I think that’s for another time.
The Batcave!
Can’t wait to show these to my wife when she wakes up.
I’ve been walking around with this song stuck in my head since you posted it.
Say what you will about Amanda Palmer, but Map of Tasmania is one of my favorite names:
crud that was supposed to have a link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-GQ63NStxk
“Velvet Elvis” and “Polly Pocket.”
“Guava”
“Mumfie”
“Gwat”
An old coworker of mine once used the phrase “eating at the Y.” I laughed for days.
We used to say Coota-box, it was like a curse word
“Vortex in the centre of the galaxy” to quote DeAnne Smith!
I’ve taken to using “pirate cat” and really hope it catches on.
Fish tail.
“Happy valley.” Which is kind of awkward/awesome as I live near an actual town called Happy Valley.
Do you live in Labrador? Newfoundland and Labrador have some fabulous place names. Dildo, anyone?
No, Oregon, actually, where every other town is named after someplace else. The ones that aren’t, however… :O
There is an actual song about that: http://www.arrogantworms.com/music/a-night-on-dildo/
Vajay-jay
Peeper
Muff
Private part-as kids LOL
Hoo-ha
Cave
Love hole
Some of these names are cute mostly because I like eating them (hehe),but most of them are making me nauseous. I never thought I would say that when I was talking about vagina.
My friends in Asia send me names like Fodi, Puchi, puchhi, pundi, Pundai, chuut, cheeri etc belonging perhaps to various languages of India.They have thousands of dialects; so perhaps equal number of names used for vagina too.
