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'm from the midwest (more specifically Oklahoma), but I'm sure that most of the terms we use are probably not regional.

Dick: A vulgar term. Used mostly in anger when phrased "Well, why don't you just suck my dick?" You would not use this word in front of your mother. USA

Johnson: Slightly less vulgar than "dick", but still not something you would say in front of your mother. Mostly used in all male company. USA

Pee-pee: Only used by small children... hopefully. USA

Boner: Refers to an erect penis, and generally only used by teenage boys. Still not something one would say in front of his mother. Funnily enough, it's also a nickname for a trombone. :) USA

And then there are general terms like "junk" and "stuff", but I think they refer more to the whole package. And there are more "eloquent" terms like "bait and tackle" "beans and weenies" or a term I heard more recently that made me laugh out loud: "cash and prizes".
