The body, sentence 3

Some body words make every playground giggle: pìgu (PEE-goo) is bottom, a childish word, not a rude one; but one word for mouth turns up in a rude "shut up!", so say "bié shuō le" instead.

Who acts: body words, playground giggle, one word · What happens: make, be, turn up, shut up, say · To what, where: bottom, rude · Speech: someone speaks here
