cooter
Pond-dwelling reptile
Cooter is a freshwater turtle native to the southeastern United States, particularly the river cooter and Florida cooter.
The word likely derives from an African language brought by enslaved people.
In vulgar slang, cooter means vagina, probably from the turtle's association with slow, hidden creatures.
We saw a cooter sunning on a log.
