These are all Yiddish words! Not necessarily euphemisms.

It's interesting how this is such a charged topic.

1. Never heard of any halachic issues with using anatomically accurate terms.
2. Funny how some posters are so passionate about using correct terms and then proudly teach their daughters that their entire private area is called a private part. Way to cause confusion!
3. No matter how much (or how little) you teach your kids, if you send them to school with other children, they will be coming home with a lot more knowledge and vocabulary than you'd expect.

First of all, even though they are Yiddish, they are still babyized (great word, right?) versions of Yiddish. A head is a “kup” not a “keppi”
Second of all, we are an exclusively English speaking household, so just saying them in another language is a euphemism of sorts.
