What word do your children use for "testicles"

Well, my 2.5 year old calls it his "bag" and, yes, he dreamt that up without any help from us. LOL

I don't have children.
"Testicles" is not an obscene word.
Why do we need to make up a word for them?
If we do make up another word for them, does that make it any less objectionable to you?

After all, we are still talking about the same thing, right? Are we objecting to the word, or testicles in general?

Are nuts, balls, cajones, allowed?

How about chin slappers?

The Latin 'testis' originally meant "witness".
Romans placed their right hands on their testicles and swore by them before giving testimony in court.
Complementary pairs such as hands, eyes, and ears,
had the technical medical sense "testicles," that is
"two glands side by side."

FYI (I swear)

What word do your children use for "testicles"?

My kids are grown, but when my two daughters were aged 7 and 4, respectively, we brought home our newborn son and waited for the inevitable. At the first diaper change, the 7-year-old wonderingly inquired, "What's that red thing he's got there?"

In the most natural tone I could assume, I replied, very matter-of-factly, "That's his penis."

"Oh," she replied, then paused a bit. "At school they say 'dick.'"
