I always knew it would come to this ...

[livejournal.com profile] pingrid  and I have been discussing terms for the penis. For some absurd reason we thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of international euphemisms. If anyone is interested in helping, it would be delightful if you could suggest a few terms. Our ideal format would be something along the lines of:
Percy: affectionate, mostly non-sexual references. 'Put your percy away, Percy.' UK
Donger: basic euphemism, mostly used in idiomatic phrases. 'It's dry as a dead dingo's donger out there.' Australia

Non-English terms are very welcome. Private names for those penes closest to my flist should be held off for another conversation, preferably after the consumption of much alcohol.*

I'm hoping that one of you provides something of sufficient curiosity that I can pretend this is a matter of academic  interest ...

*Local and regional terms are encouraged. 'I call mine Fang' is discouraged.

I've always been partial to tallywhacker. I've never heard it actually used, though. :)

Would have thought it was the remote control if I heard the term ;)

That will now be my new word for the remote. Pass the tallywhacker!

"Quit hogging the tallywhacker!"

"No, because all you do is flip around with it!"

Extra Large Universal Remote Control suddenly sounds more appealing than it ever has the right to be...

*dies* Now I will giggle every time and advert for that comes on and my kids will think me even stranger than they do now! :-D

It does explain why men like to fiddle around with the remote control so much. :D

*G* One of the mysteries of the universe solved. *nods* :-D

Damn, my tallywhacker needs more batteries!

That's because you spend too much time fiddling with it. ;)

Oh, I just remembered another one I have actually heard used.

A few people used to say moby. I believe that derives from Moby Dick (apparently the word "moby" being perceived as more polite than "dick").

Usage example:

Teenage Girl: Eww! Did you touch his moby?

Of course, this makes me picture short, bald, hyperactive musicians.

Is it possible the resemblance might be intentional? ;)
