Oyster Catchers and Beef Bugles: all approaches to Say Vagina and manhood Through the Ages

We’ve discovered some exciting new vagina-related terms over this lengthy summer time of
slutbags
and
slampieces
. We could possibly never ever think about our very own woman pieces and vajayjays the same way once again. Plus reality, we would never use the conditions

woman bits

or

vajayjay

again — not given that
Laughing Squid
has published an interactive time line (by lexicographer Jonathon Green) that charts all the words used for
vaginas
and
penises
since 1250.

The initial slang phrase for a snatch, tape-recorded in 1250, ended up being really

snatch

. (You’d imagine it could have ended being taboo right now.) Next language designs accepted hundreds of years of gibberish words — like

twit-twot

,

whib-bob

,

adult chat wem can

, and

nonny-nonny

— to refer to feminine genitalia. Around the late 1800s, the euphemisms became both poetic and rather befuddling: florid terms and conditions like

aphrodisiacal tennis-court

(1865)

Mrs Fubbs’ Parlour

(1823) together with

agreeable routine of life

(1890)
appear in Victorian sexts
. In present day, we come across

pootenanny

and

bacon sandwich

.

Terms and conditions for penises tend to be sort of lackluster, interestingly. The most important phase for testicles,

ballocks

, emerged in 1369; while the very first for  knob,

pin

, around 1490. Boring. Next there are some cleverly good words like

whore pipeline

and

shaft of delight

. In 1890s, the invention associated with the
skyscraper
eventually enabled for a few self-congratulatory jargon, like

skyscraper

.  Then, inside seventies, there is a genuine surge of slang for penises, erections, and testicles! While there were no terms therefore colorful as

whib-bob

, this decade the is apparently the long-awaited heyday of cock slang.

For record, record shows that the words for vagina tend to be more abundant and colourful, which most likely indicates that culture might unpleasant claiming

snatch

for centuries. Which is a pity, but nevertheless none of your nicknames are as awful as the most recent entry for penis slang: the

yoghurt-spitting sausage

.
