naughty bits

The impolite parts

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

The phrase treats sexual anatomy with mock primness, as if naming body parts were mildly scandalous: The statue's naughty bits were covered with a fig leaf.

It remains playful rather than crude.
