Va-jay-jay

Va-jay-jay is a euphemism used for the vagina. The term was first used in the February 12, 2006 episode of Grey's Anatomy, to appease network censors. The term was then picked up by Oprah Winfrey, who used it regularly on her show.cite web |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/fashion/28vajayjay.html |title=What did you call it? |accessdate=2008-09-19 |work= |publisher=The New York Times |date=10-28-2007 ]

A regular bit on E!'s show The Soup, called "Oprah's Va-jay-jay", often shows clips from Winfrey's show where she uses the term.

The term has also been used on several other TV shows, including 30 Rock, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as several online publications, including The Huffington Post.
