   • 1999, Lyn Gardner, “Don't mention the, er”, Guardian:

     But because little girls' genitals are tucked away, it's easy never to refer to them at all. They become the part with no name. Even up-front women are flummoxed. Vagina? Fanny? Front bottom? Twinkie? Privates? Didge? Down there? Flower? Wee-wee? Tuppence?

     ‘Wee wee’ was the word my parent’s taught me to call my vagina.
