Dr. Carol A. Livoti, a Manhattan obstetrician and gynecologist and an author of “Vaginas: An Owner’s Manual” (Thunder’s Mouth Press, 2004), said vajayjay and other euphemisms and slang offend her and can render women incapable of explaining their symptoms to health professionals. “I think it’s terrible,” Dr. Livoti said. “It’s time to start calling anatomical organs by their anatomical name. We should be proud of our bodies.”

“It seems like a step backward,” she added.

I’m with you, Carol! I don’t even own a vagina (I’m renting), but I can attest that I’m very much put off by the various and sundry nicknames I see thrown around for penis. Oprah coverage is a reliable indicator that any given cultural phenomenon has simultaneously hit the big time and jumped the shark.
