What Do You Call It?

[EcclesCake]

I have a completely irrational loathing of the word 'tummy'.

As a child I had a (pot) belly and still today I refer to my belly or stomach.......never, ever tummy.

I even recall being scolded in class for saying belly and not tummy!

So what term do you use for your midriff?

[jeffa]

"'zi-zi' for lady bits", French grannie?

Really? Le zizi is the usual French slang for boys bits:

Wasn't there a song in the late 60s which began;

"Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy"?

Talking about French: I quite like mimi and toutou.

Lady bits?

"winkie" or "front bum"

[marval]

I either use tummy or stomach.

JJ, an excellent book both historically factual and sometimes hilarious: http://www.amazon.com/Mimi-Toutou-Go-Forth-Tanganyika/dp/0141009845
The Commander wanted to call the boats "HMS Cat" and "HMS Dog": however, the Admiralty would have none of than, so the renamed them "Mimi" and "Toutou"...Parisian slang for "meow" and "woofwoof"!

Stomach, belly reminds me of belly pork with the rows of little tits.
