Originally read that as "Auntie Mary in her private garden," which would've been even better.

Favored euphemisms include gilded lotuses, beds of roses, and so on.

Gilded lotuses makes me think of vajazzling. ^.^

I've always liked "the little man in the boat", except that I don't understand why it's assumed to be a *man*... =8o)

[nanila]

That is a very odd association!

I had a temporary mental blank before remembering my favourite Aussie slang for pubic region. In the meantime I discovered this colour coded list of euphemisms: click for big yet slightly blurry image and this list of nicknames for female genitials from around the world which is full of gifs.

"birth cannon" *dies*

The thing I like most about the Feministing one is the colour coding.

It's yer Auntie Fanny in these parts!

[nanila]

A firm favourite, for sure! :D

I've heard the clitoris referred to as the 'pearl in her oyster'.

[nanila]

That's rather beautiful.

[ironed_orchid]

I like that.

I must share with you a delightful euphemism from 12thc france: "bunny fur" (pun on conne, for rabbit, and cunne, for cunt). Seen in the Roman d'Eneas, where imprecations are made that Eneas "does not like bunny fur".

[nanila]

That is wonderful, thank you!

My favorite euphemism for the *other* one is: The Ministry of Pants. Somebody's ringtone has become a clip from the theme tune of The Men from the Ministry...
