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.

Oooh, nice post...

Aussies also use Percy - as in 'point Percy at the porcelain'.

A couple of others I thought of:

Goolies - As in 'kicked him in the goolies.' I have no idea where it came from, but it really sounds like a term from cricket somehow. *shrugs* Word association or something. Maybe derivative from the term 'googly' which is a style of ball bowled by the bowler.

Knackers is another one and then comes the rhyming slang derived from that 'kicked him in the Jatz crackers' Which might actually refer to the testicular area - Jatz crackers being round.

Old fella is one that blokes use, as in 'I had to go point Percy at the porcelain, and just as I flopped out the old fella, a bloody snake jumped up and bit me Jatz crackers.'
