Why is it that we never call vulvas by their name? Perhaps because we’re all a bit embarrassed about discussing our intimate areas, or maybe it’s down to a society that doesn’t look kindly on women who embrace their sexuality. I am ashamed to say that I used this term right into adulthood (until a boyfriend told me it was the most unsexy thing he had ever heard). After I revealed to friends that I had ‘gone with vagina,’ I discovered that a lot of parents are almost afraid of this word. I have no idea why.Not so commonly used these days but actually ‘nonny nonny’ was one of the earliest slang words for female genitalia. As we all know, the UK is famous for having a lot of different words for what is essentially the same thing - especially from across different regions of the country.

On 30 September 2007, Nunney was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 report, asking whether "the prettiest village in England" is a place where we can learn "how to mend our broken society". [5] We surveyed 150 participants across the UK and asked them about all the different euphemisms they use for vagina. But what is the nation’s favourite slang word for vagina? We conducted a survey that spanned across the UK to find out all the different words we use instead of… you know what. The top euphemisms we use for vagina So my use of the word ‘vagina’ is incorrect as it refers to the inner part of the female genital tract – not the external part (the vulva). Whatever the reason, we’ve all been taught slang for our anatomy since we were little. After all, using euphemisms has always meant that we can discreetly discuss our needs and issues without being too ‘on the nose’.

The village falls within the Non-metropolitan district of Mendip, which was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Frome Rural District, [9] which is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. The top euphemism that was used to beat around the bush was… fanny. A uniquely British word for vagina - and one that plenty of Americans would raise an eyebrow at- fanny is the quintessentially British way of referring to ‘down there’. Down there, coincidentally, takes the number 2 spot.

Even if you do not have a dog, do try the dog walk. It is a pleasant stroll between woodland, and small meadows, close to the river at times, with the sun streaming along the valley in the evening. It is an old lane, though most of the tarmac has now gone, leaving an easy walk along the compacted road base of stones etc. It's a mile to the first house and then another three quarters of a mile to the next road. From where other footpaths lead off, though I didn't try them. The village falls within 'Cranmore, Doulting and Nunney' electoral ward. Starting at Doulting in the west the ward stretches eastwards through Cranmore and Nunney to finish in the east at Whatley. The total ward population taken at the 2011 census was 2,374.

Along with the rest of South West England, Nunney has a temperate climate which is generally wetter and milder than the rest of England. The annual mean temperature is about 10°C (50°F) with seasonal and diurnal variations, but due to the modifying effect of the sea, the range is less than in most other parts of the United Kingdom. January is the coldest month with mean minimum temperatures between 1°C (34°F) and 2°C (36°F). July and August are the warmest months in the region with mean daily maxima around 21°C (70°F). In general, December is the dullest month and June the sunniest. The south west of England enjoys a favoured location, particularly in summer, when the Azores High extends its influence north-eastwards towards the UK.
