When I was a child, my mother referred to vaginas and penises as "pee-ers". You use it to pee, therefore, it is a pee-er! I truly believed that this was the technical term for them. It took years for me to understand that she only called them that since peeing is what they are used for.
Imagine my dismay when I when I started school and heard my teachers talking about being nice when playing with your your peers.
