naughty bit

Euphemism for genitals

Naughty bits is a jocular euphemism for genitals, popularized by Monty Python's Flying Circus in the 1970s.

The phrase treats private parts with mock primness, as if discussing a child's misbehavior: The statue's naughty bits were covered with a fig leaf.

Usually plural, though singular naughty bit appears occasionally.
