That's going to entirely depend upon who they're speaking with, and why. It will also change depending on where they live, there are lots of regional specific names for these. Pum-pum for example in Jamaica.

If something is more focused on something being wrong like an infection or period, they may use more medical terms like Vagina, Labia, Clitoris, etc.

If they're talking over drinks in a bar with their friends about what they did last night with some guy/girl, they're more likely to use the more common "crude" slang terms like Pussy.

If they're talking to some casual acquaintances and it happens to come up, they would use more indirect slang like "Bits", "Lady Parts", "Va-jay-jay" or similar.

Vajayjay seems like the other one i was thinking pops up more commonly (besides totally general ones like down there)

The girls in my family always called it their woo-woo, lol

Sadly, most men and women tend to say β€œvagina” when they really mean vulva - the visible genitalia. The vagina is the internal pathway from the vaginal opening to the cervix. Most people don’t have reason to discuss the vagina itself outside a gynaecological or pre-natal setting.

That comment needs a top hat and a monocle.

When people are talking about sex or fucking they mean vagina. We're not talking about appearences, altho obviously if someone says they got their pussy waxed they are obviously referring to the external rather than internal

Neighbour friend was having her women friends over for what she called a taco party.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Thats different, like, its a name of an event. I mean like casually in passing how most females term it usually in convo

Woud they actualy say "my taco" normally? Probably not

[–] original_reader@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who starts talking about their genitals "casually in passing"?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Close female friends among themselves? It's not so unusual.

🎢 It's not unusual to say cunt to anyone

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Does any chick actually say my cunt in reference to that? Seems unlikely or ridiculous

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Common in UK to say th word cunt, but it would be fanny for the genitals, because cunt is usually used to describe a dude being an asshole, or dufus.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Ya like its primarily non-anatomical

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dont know what "that" is

Say it out loud to understand. Sounds like something else.

This song from 14 years ago offers a fantastic list of euphemism.
