My daughter - 8 years old at the mo - always refers to her under armpits as her "brad Pits"!. Its not as if she even likes Brad Pit or Angelina Jolie but that is what she calls them.
Do your kids or you for that matter have names that you give for your body parts or does my daughter need some counselling?!

She might if she reads what this thread could turn into.

oo-err mrs.

awww bless her....guess she knows that brad pitt is all part of the modern rhyming slang for sh1t

Erm . . . no she doesn't. I guess i'm going to have to discourage her from calling them that from now on. She would be horrified if she knew

Mummy in the foothills

Brad Pitts

Dd who is 3 calls her elbows, El Bones. No amount of correcting her get her to change it.

Him indoors thinks that I should tell my daughter that the slang for Pitt is shit. He went on to add that if my daughter ever needs to use the ,"restroom", at school, she can calmly tell her teacher that she needs to go "for a brad pitt"!
- I don't think that it will go down too well with the teacher do you?

TruBrit

i think it's hilarious.... btw it has to be brad pitt not just pitt, that's something else i think...

here's another one > Wallace and Gromit > vomit

that one is priceless!.

You know, for someone who was brought up in the Eastend, my knowledge of slang words is truely shameful . I'll never be able to show my face in Hackney again at this rate!
You don't happen to have any other slang words that would bring me up to date would you? .

now you mention it... 'Woohoo' and 'Cooter' [sp?] (refering to certain female body part) seem like very odd names to me.

TruBrit

it's not so much cockney as modern rhyming slang...here's some more and watch out if said 8 yr old starts talking about a badly packed kebab ...

Thanks for the link TruBrit - must try to use some of them.
Up until now . . . I used to enjoy getting a kebab from our local Greek restaurant on a Friday night . . . . no more

Dreadful that anyone should have to explain to a little kid what a vagina is.

I have noticed how the proper names are seen as some to be embarrassed/ashamed about

I always insisted that my kids use the 'proper' term for their body parts. However, my son liked to use the word Twinkie for his penis, and my son and daughter always used the word Fluffer when they passed gas.

We would be in the grocery store and my daughter would proudly annouce, "Mommy, I just had a fluffer." I guess in a way that was good.
