    Can't we be a little more anatomically correct?

    OK, I think the term "vajayjay" is just plain stupid. What is so bad about the word vagina? The thing really bugs me about the way the word vagina/vajayjay is used is that everyone is using it wrong! Paris, Britney, et. al. aren't flashing their vaginas (unless the paparazzi are carrying speculums too), they are showing their vulvas! (Now for many that will just bring to mind Seinfeld...) Anyway, you all are talking about the vulva, not the vagina. My kids say vulva and penis; who needs to use a nickname? Just say it!!
