What slang are you OK with?

I broke into a male-dominated career field 40 years ago, and I had to learn to just tune out anything. Call it what you like, it's still the same "thing."
By the way, "boob" is one of the two correct words for a woman's milk providers. "Boob" is a Slavic word that actually means "woman's milk gland."
The correct word in English is "teat," pronounced "tit."
"Breast" is a "nice" Latinism that means the colored front area of a bird, the rounded front end of a ship, part of fort, or the upper part of either a man's or a woman's chest.
And a woman may be insulted by being called a "c?nt," but consider it a complement to be called "foxy." But the Latin word for "fox" is "vulva."
So there's no getting around it. We have what we have. Just consider the source.

Personally, I don't much care for the "C***" word. Vagina is the appropriate name for that part of a woman's anatomy and it's silly that more people blush over using 'vagina' than the slang that exists for it!

None really, although I think it sounds very unnattractive when someone refers to a vagina as a "bush".
But what amuses me about vaginal slang... is how Americans come over to Australia and start talking about their "big fanny" and their "fannypack"... Just so you all know, here "Fanny" is another nickname for our vagina, just like ****... Imagine if we went over there talking about our massive ****, or our twatpack... Lol. It's hilarious hehe...

I hate all words that are slang for my body parts. It's a vagina and I'm not afraid to say it. Anything else is just wrong in my book.

There are several that I find offending...
c*unt...tw*t...p*ssy...to name a few.
There are an equal number of nicknames for male genitals that I find just as offensive.
I won't go into those.

I don't care what my hubby calls it, just so he calls it! All other men I just ignore!

I don't have problems with that as long as no one insults me!
