I recall hearing/reading how teaching kids euphemism words can be bad, precisely because they can't correctly/understandably inform about abuse they experienced...
Like imagine a little girl crying, telling how "someone touched her cookie", what would your reaction be?
I just shared a comment above with that example. Is that common word to use for vulva/vagina? I never heard it except for that example. I heard lots of other words but never encountered that one (I worked nursing so more than average conversations about this stuff)
That gives a whole other meaning to the ‘taste the biscuits’ song. I feel grossed out that I heard that song pop into my head after reading your sentence.
I also think parents should teach kids the real words for their genitals so there can be no mistake. Cause wtf is a biscuit.
yes that is a nickname for it but kind of weird to be teaching that to kids. Would be kind of like teaching your child to call his penis his magic stick or something.
