Oh yes, Twink - I remember -back when I had a TV - there was an advert for something (can't remember what) which featured a boy - old enough to know better - who insisted he was 'going for a poo at Pauls'!

I remember Lady Docker being asked the question many years ago and answering that it was a very Non U question and the subject was never breached.

Re: What word(s) do you use to desigante ..

Yes, Angel.
Apparently, my mother-in-law uses the word 'tuppence', but not in my presence (where she doesn't talk about such things).

For me, it depends to whom I am talking.
In 'polite' mode, the words would be 'willie' and 'backside' (or 'bottom' if talking to the Queen).
With the lads, it's 'dick' (as in the London Police Commissioner) and 'arse'. Of course, I wouldn't use such words in front of ladies - even the ladies on here. Er... sorry ladies.

We never used anything at all . In fact sex or any sort of bodily functions were verboten .we had a Bath once a week .
It was a difficult childhood just muddled along Mr M said his was the same .
