Part of speech: n.

Quotation: She offers an example of how her new phraseology can empower a room. “I was at a party last night where I took Betty as a gift for somebody. They opened it up and were like, ‘Oh my god, is that blah-blah dye?’ I said, ‘It’s color for the hair down there.’ ‘What’s it called?’ ‘Betty.’ ‘So it’s for your ... ?’ ‘It’s for your betty.’ From that point on, everybody just started talking about their betty. It happens all the time. They’ll say, ‘Wow, I just found a gray hair down there,’ or, ‘I haven’t seen my betty in 20 years, but I feel like I want to do something with my betty.’” “Do I have a betty?” I ask. “Of course, men have betties, too. Everyone’s got one!”
