Sweden invents a word for girls’ genitals

Sweden invents a word for girls’ genitals


Even If  you live in Australia

or Outer  Westphalia,

when it comes to genitalia,

sometimes words fail ya,




So today's Guardian has a suggestion

(I supposed aimed at a  parent

since the rest of us daren't)

for a term   with art

for a certain body part

in a young filly

instead of  "willy"

 corresponding to those toys

found in  boys.



It seems to be 

something they're needin',

at least in Sweden.



So when   you decide to go

to Malmoe

perhaps to sup

or lunch  on  kipper

listen up: 

 that  word is  "snippa"---

apparently the female for"snop"---

and, here, balancing on the brink, 

 I seriously think

 I'd better stop.

I only ever speak English to our three-year-old daughter, and my wife only speaks Swedish to her. The one exception is the word snippa. It’s Swedish for a girl’s genitals, the female equivalent of snopp, meaning “willy”, and I can’t find an English word that does the job.
Almost all the parents I know in Malmö use it. When a cartoon of dancing children’s genitalia made by Swedish children’s television went viral earlier this year, it was called Snoppen och Snippan, with Snippan translated by the English media as Twinkle. But to me, as a foreigner living in Sweden, snippa just is the word you use....
