Libolo — direct anatomical term for the vagina, flagged VULGAR / TABOO. While lexicographically the singular term for the body part, libolo is highly taboo in public and functions as a severe profanity in casual speech. Polite alternatives: esika ya mwasi (a woman's place), nzoto (body), ebolo (clinical, cf. #948). Recorded here for completeness — a dictionary documents the language as it is actually spoken, including taboo registers, with clear social warnings.
