it's like every once in a while something deep underground in some forgotten aquifer rises up and causes entire societies of otherwise reasonable people to become batshit insane.

i believe it is supposed to have happened in medieval france.

We always went with the technical terms in our house. Two stories: One, my little guy was running around nekkid in the back yard when he was about 2. I laughed at him and said, "You look so funny running around with your little penis waving in the breeze." He stood up very straight, and said, "No, mommy! BIG penis!" 2 years old. Two, my older son, at about the age of 4 was at the babysitters, and said to a little girl whose undies were showing, "I can see your vagina!" Well, babysitter, mom of 5, was horrified. She said "My daughter is 11 and just learning words like that, and that's the way it should be." No word of a lie, 4 years later that girl was pregnant. So, the old don't let them know the words and they won't use them strategy didn't work out so good.
