Also, "in the stomach of the beast" just sounds gross, and there's no internal rhyme. See, also, "stomach flop."

I am somewhat lost on what children should call girl privates, vagina is usually not accurate at all especially since most little girls don't even know they have one and probably shouldn't be exploring it either.


My son says caca for poop because that’s the word in Spanish. Sorry you find our language cringey.


Maybe if my relative were Spanish in any way I wouldn't find it cringey. If that's the only Spanish word those kids know I think it's a bit odd.

My three-year-old called me a "yellow-bellied, lily-livered coward," and I told him that with juvenile language like that, he'd never matriculate at Harvard.

Basically obnoxious abbreviations of words that don't need to be abbreviated


Me and my friends say all of these - there’s nothing childish about any of these words.

THIS? YOu bumped a zombie thread for this?
Everyone already knows this.
Thanks Captain Obvious.


No they don't. I'm a 3rd grade teacher and most kids use household nicknames instead.

I had a student who didn't even know the term was vagina. She thought it was called fine china. Not even joking. Calling it the fine china was something an older sibling had said as a toddler and the name stuck in their household.

Seriously. What are you supposed to say?

Honey, my feces is coming to a head in my colon, we better find a lavatory so I can defecate.

WTF.


Is it childish or mature to say "Hey, I need a bathroom quick, I'm prairie dogging!"

I guess those of us who use those words still have a bit of kid in us. Nothing wrong with that.


Belly of the beast: it's a common term in kindergarten.

OP, are you seriously out of other more pressing things to worry about?


Tummy not belly! "Yummy, yummy. Yummy. I got love in my tummy," is when you're eating that cookie!
