As for using "vagina" as slang—it makes far more sense to use "pussy" instead. It's simply miscontruing the word and has led to the unfortunate and embarrassing misunderstandings of some younger people in the US. This thread has shown me that there really are several people that don't realize what the term "vagina" actually means because they hear it when really the speaker is referring to the entire female genitalia (pussy). I'm not sure I'd call it just slang... it really seems to be misunderstood. How would you feel if people started using the word "penis" to refer to the entire "package?" And I really hope people don't get that wrong, either...

You keep posting this response. You've posted it at least twice (three if you count the OP) and not a single time have you made even an attempt at explaining why you think that it's so critical that people know exactly what pussy means in casual conversation compared to vagina. I know it's important for a doctor to understand the difference. I know it's important for me to know the difference when I'm having sex with my fiancee. I know it's important for you to know the difference when you're using a tampon instead of a pad. I don't know why it's important to correct someone using either phrase in casual conversation.
Furthermore, no one in this thread has evidenced ANY lack of understanding about the difference between the two. They're either made jokes (the whole cunt/snatch thing) or have simply questioned why drawing the distinction over slang and casual conversation is so important for you, which you've made no attempt to clarify.
Finally, since you're making an ultra-technical definition-based point, you should probably get your definitions correct. "Pussy" as it is literally defined does not refer to the "entire female genitalia" as you indicate, but rather only to the vulva. Not that it matters or makes any difference, but just so we're clear.
