Boys have dingers and girls have netherlands!

How do kids come up with those clever clever names for their "naughty" body parts? Maybe their TV shows have something to do with it. You maybe didn't notice the dirty things you were hearing at the tender age of 4, but I'll bet that our parents were having a chuckle at more than a few of our favorite characters' names. For example, let me (re)introduce you to:

HottyBotty Hen
Boober Fraggle
The Dingers
The Honkers
Dr. Feel (the muppet is on the right)
Easy Pete (probably more disturbing because he isn't a muppet)
Hard Head Henry Harris
Moe Cocker
Sherry Netherland
Spotted Dick
Tita (my favorite picture)
and possibly my favorite name...

Lubbock Lou and his Jughuggers

More fun names:

Big Head
Billy Bones
Crankshaft Doozer
Dicky Tick
Henry Sackbutt
One-Eyed Jack
Surelick Bones

Seriously, I'm not convinced that the people who make children's programming aren't doing this on purpose. They have to get bored making educational and wholesome shows for little kids. This has to be their plan to keep themselves and the parents sane.

Here's the whole list if you're interested.

Thanks Jenn!
