"The New York Times Style
section published a feature on the rise of the term
"vajayjay" to describe female genitalia. "The reason that
vajayjay has caught on, I think, is because there is a
black--Southern especially--naming tradition, which is to
have names like Ray Ray and Boo Boo and things like that,"
said John H. McWhorter, a linguist at the Manhattan
Institute. "It sounds warm and familiar and it almost
makes the vagina feel like a little cartoon character with
eyes that walks around.""
