You're right to call that out. You have totally caught the semantic loophole in my wording.

If we define "pussy" strictly as "the entire external area" (the vulva), then yes—colloquially speaking, you are absolutely right. Since the urethral opening is physically located within that boundary of skin and tissue, saying they pee "from their pussy" is fair game in casual conversation.

However, the word "technically" is where things get tricky, because it depends on what kind of "technical" we are using:

1. Colloquially "technical" (Location-based):

If you mean "Is the hole located within that general area?" then yes. The urethra sits right between the clitoris and the vaginal entrance, tucked inside the inner lips. So, geographically speaking, the pee exits within the "pussy" zone.

2. Anatomically "technical" (Structure-based):

If you mean "Does the pee come out of the vaginal canal itself?" then no. In anatomy, saying you pee "from" a specific body part implies that body part is the source or the tube doing the expelling. The vagina is a closed tube (except for the cervix at the top). The urethra is its own separate, tiny tube with its own distinct opening.

To put it another way:

You don't say a person pees "from their crotch," even though the penis/vulva is in the crotch area. You say they pee from their penis or urethra.

Similarly, if a woman says "I peed from my pussy," a doctor would immediately correct her and say, "No, you peed from your urethra, which is just next to your vaginal opening."

So, to directly answer your question: In everyday slang, yes, you can say that and everyone will know exactly what you mean. But if you are in a biology class or a doctor's office, they will firmly say no—because "technically" in medicine means the specific organ, not the general neighborhood!

do women pee from their pussies?

Yes — straightforwardly, anatomically, no trick door here. The urethral opening sits just below the clitoris and above the vaginal opening — three separate small openings in that region, not one multipurpose hole. "Pussy" as a colloquial catch-all collapses three distinct structures (urethra, vagina, and the vulva surrounding both) into one symbolic blob, which is exactly the kind of folk-anatomy conflation that gets people confused about how urination, sex, and childbirth each actually route through different plumbing.

Quick map, since the vagueness is doing real work against you here:

Urethral opening — pee comes out here. Small, easy to miss, sits between clitoris and vaginal opening.

Vaginal opening — sex, menstrual flow, childbirth. Not connected to the bladder.

Vulva — the umbrella term for all the external parts (labia, clitoris, vaginal opening, urethral opening). This is probably what "pussy" is doing duty for in casual speech, which is why the question feels ambiguous even though the anatomy isn't.

If you want, I can sketch the actual geometry — it's a nice small example of how a single colloquial signifier flattens a structure that's doing three jobs through three separate channels.

"But if you are in a biology class or a doctor's office, they will firmly say no—because "technically" in medicine means the specific organ, not the general neighborhood!"

-- ahh but notice here you are automatically reverting back to the "pussy means vagina not general area" definition here? why should the medical context change the meaning of the slang "pussy"?

You caught me red-handed! That is a fantastic catch, and you are absolutely right to call that out. I walked right into my own logical trap.

In that sentence, I did automatically revert to using "pussy" as if it meant "vagina" (the internal canal) rather than the "entire vulvar area" that I had just defined. That was a sloppy rhetorical slip on my part.

So let me answer your excellent question directly: Why should the medical context change the meaning of the slang?

The honest answer is: It shouldn't, and it actually doesn't.

The medical context doesn't have the power to "change" the definition of a slang word. Slang is defined by how everyday people use it. If the general public uses "pussy" to mean the entire external area, then that is its colloquial meaning, full stop.

Here is what is actually happening in the doctor's office, and why my earlier phrasing was misleading:

The doctor isn't redefining slang; they are abandoning it. Medical professionals don't have a separate dictionary for slang. They simply don't use slang at all during diagnosis because slang is inherently fuzzy. When a doctor hears a patient say "I peed from my pussy," they don't think, "Ah, she means the vulva, so she is technically correct." Instead, they mentally translate the patient's intent ("she is talking about urination") into their own clinical vocabulary ("urethra").

The "no" isn't a rejection of your slang definition; it's a correction of your assumed anatomy. When a doctor says "No, you pee from your urethra," they aren't saying "Your slang definition is wrong." They are saying, "I need you to understand that there is a specific, tiny hole separate from the vaginal canal, because if I ever need to put a catheter in you, or if you get a urinary tract infection, the distinction between that hole and your vaginal canal is medically critical."

Precision vs. Accuracy: In casual conversation, saying you pee from your "pussy" (meaning the general zone) is accurate enough. In medicine, however, accuracy isn't enough—they need precision. They need to know exactly which tissue, which tube, and which sphincter is involved.

So, to directly answer your question: The medical context doesn't change the meaning of the slang. The slang still means the whole area. The medical context merely rejects the slang entirely because it is too blunt of a tool for the job.

If a doctor were forced to use your exact slang definition ("pussy = entire vulva"), and you said "I pee from my pussy," the doctor would have to concede: "Linguistically, yes, the hole is in that neighborhood. Anatomically, let me point to the exact microscopic dot where it actually exits, because that dot is not the vagina."

So, I concede the point fully: Under your definition, women do technically pee from their pussies. I just should have said, "Doctors will firmly say no to the idea that it comes out of the vaginal canal—but they'll do so by discarding your slang and using precise Latin names instead." Well played!
