Anyone over the age of five using the word "tummy".

Here's the thing, I never know what to say about that, I mean, I could say "I have an [could be any internal organ between the ephosical sphyincter to the anus on a vertical level within my torso, including and not limited too, my kidneys, liver, colon, l
arge intestine, small intestine, mussels, fat... the pain is not localised to a specific point or is wondering]'s pain receptors are triggering, most likely due to an increased inflamation, exasporated by an increase in internal build up of gasses and solids." but it doesn't quite roll off the tounge.

You could say stomach, though, right? As a kind of a catch-all.

That's actually what I go for, but it always feels wrong to say that. It's rarely my actual stomach where the pain is.
I mean, say you could click a finger and the pain would stop on whatever word you say, but only one, you'd waste it by saying 'stomach'.

I thought tummy was another word for stomach?

I count the 'tummy' from the bottom of the moobs/tits to just under the over-hanging belly.

You could always indicate upper, middle or lower abdomin

To clinical when talking to someone non-medical.

if a cunt don't know what an abdomin is, then they aint worth bothering with

They'll know what it is, but they'll also know what a colon and intestine is.
Both are too clinical.

saying they need to go to the little boys/girls room makes them sound like a paedophile also

Especially when uttered by an adult who wears items of clothing with Winnie the Pooh on them.
I have seen this and wanted to kill them to put them out of their misery.

Despite all the times I've asked to use a toilet, asked where a toilet is, or had to excuse myself...
I don't think I've ever used "little boy's room". It's the most pathetic word. I get "little girl's room" because it could mean make-up, but the whole idea is to not put into someone's head that you are about to pee, shit [and/or] fart... and there is nothing you can do in a "little boy's room" appart from do that.
