Use Your Words (warning: gross talk)

Just try to come over to my house and use an actual anatomically correct word without causing a riot of giggles.  We had a little house guest this weekend who used the word "fart" a lot.  She also did that word a lot, she said she had eaten a few too many Fiber One bars and she was still trying to pass the fiber.  I smell feel her pain.

We don't say usually say fart in my house, we say Foof or Fluff, which can also be spelled with with a ph.  Sounds nice, doesn't it.  It got me thinking about the alternate words our family uses for various body parts or actions.  I'll list them for your reading enjoyment:
Girls have a Pippalulla (pip for short) and a Poola
We don't use the "v" word unless we are talking about a man with an overbearing wife or girlfriend, you see he has unfortunately become "vaginated".
Boys also have a Poola and they have a hot dog (as in "do you have a license to sell hot dogs?) or the generic "wiener" works.  Generally, we just don't talk about this body part.
On a side note, my brother used to call his hot dog a pretzel.
Older girls and mommy's have "bobbies", we called them "mama's mia's" as children.  The word "boob" gets thrown around a bit as well. 
Going number two is often referred to as "dropping a deuce".  Thank you, Drew.
We pee, but we also piddle or go number one.

If you have an excess of anything then we will "osaurus rex" it.  ie., if you smell bad, then you are a "stinkosaurus rex".  We can really osaurus rex most anything.
If we drive up behind a Saturn (the car), someone will definitely say "move Uranus, Saturn".
We even have alternate names for each other...
Samantha:  Tammy Teetower, Xena Warrior Princess, Samama Jamma.
Darcy:  Boots, Furple
Drew:  Big D, Droopy D
Olivia:  Odideeda, Dids, OC, Vivian
Jack:  King, Jackimo, Shaggy
Grace:  Bug, Booger, AG, Gigi
Brynn:  The oldest and the only one with no nickname.

Even the dog...Elke aka "Old Smeller" or "wolf".
And the cat...Pepper aka "Paprikosh", "superpep", or "pooper".

I'm sure I can come up with some more, I'll work on it.
