If I slap a woman that way I would be hitting a variety of parts of her body. When you say vagina everyone knows what you mean, it is already part of the common lexicon to use the word in this manner, most people are simply annoyed by this type of pedancy. So, unless I need to give a small biology lesson when doing something slightly kinky to, or about, a sex organ, I am just gonna say vagina, or some other euphemism. Box, vag, pussy, etc.

Thanks! I was getting worried nobody would get it 😁

So many words and still it’s just plain ignorant if not stupid.

Sick burn haha. I agree. It’s baffling that so many people seem to support that way of thinking tho.

Eh. As someone who knows the vagina as the canal part, I'd expect that slapping it is a bit on the kinky side and involves toys.

Slapping the vulva is a more common thing and doesn't require toys (unless you really need the rider's crop sting).

In a general sense yes when a woman refers to her vag it can be slang for the whole kit and kaboodle. But then getting technical can be confusing. Mind you, I freak out when my recipe books have conflicts between their written instructions and illustrations. So it may just be me.

Pussy wasn't great as a colloquialism even before Trump ruined it. Though now I think of feminist punk rock and art like Pussy Riot and Hole.

People can call it whatever they like as long as everyone involved is cool with it. Refer to it as a penis, fine by me. I am just saying that this is a very, very, casual conversation and use of the word. Those actively concerning themselves with others using a word in a non-technical manner are just mildly annoying pedants. Pedants who likely use a word in a lay person's manner, that is technically incorrect according to a professional or academic lexicon, probably without even realizing it.

Pedancy... giggle

Yeah, was going for the controversial form of pedantry given the subject.

I must ask, nay demand, that from now on when referring to my testicles, they are referred to individually and as distinct entities to each other and the scrotum.

Please do not kick me in the vas deferens.

i mean, there's a bit of a difference between being slapped in the taint and in the nuts

Stipulated without objection but I'm not sure what point you are intending to make. And, based on the logic in this thread, you can't get slapped in the nuts without surgically accessing them first and we should all start talking about getting slapped in the scrotum - which is still technically different than getting slapped in the taint, so whatever point you're making is safe.
