Re: Prude or Not a Prude
I voted that it's okay for him to use it, assuming you were talking about something where it was directly relevant and not inherently offensive (particularly in an "art" context like you mentioned Georgia O'Keefe or something like the vagina monologues).
Really, context is everything here. If the overall conversation didn't feel inappropriate, I don't think use of the proper anatomical term is inappropriate. If you were talking about Georgia O'Keefe and he said "who-ha" or "britney" or some other slang term, I would probably be more inclined to give it the
Britney??????
I'm going to embarrass myself yet again with a reference to bad reality TV. On one episode of "The Hills" one of the characters refers to seeing another character's "britney." The term refers to the photo of Britney Spears getting out of a sports car sans underpants.
Oh, dear. I am embarrassed for all the people in this story.

I've heard a few people recall to it as a Britney, if that makes you feel better. :-) I don't know where I first heard it though.
And I agree with your point, actually. If you're talking about art, and he used the anatomically correct term, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It would have been stranger if he said it looked like an axe wound, beef curtains, etc.
Context does matter - if he was being goofy and not serious, I think saying "Ha ha, looks like a vagina" seems weirder. But if you were having an actual discussion of the art, I think it's fine.
