ABSTRACT
In Modern Greek dialects, the names for the genitals, unlike their sparing presence in the dictionaries
of common Modern Greek, appear to be diverse, usually witnessed as figurative and euphemistic
wordings, their phraseology also being rich (pistole, torment, reveler for the penis, nest, pocket
for the pudenda, button for the clitoris etc.). The terminology of this special vocabulary field displays
exceptional ingenuity, humor and creativity, but also reveals the social conditions which created it. The
paper presents rich dialectal data and offers a classification of the glossarial material according to the
language mechanisms of its construction.
