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.

A little clarification on some US slang...

Wee-wee, pee-pee, and whizzer are the kind of language a parent might use when potty-training a child, though the last is slightly vulgar.

Children up to the pre-teen years, in my experience, use non-sexual but minorly vulgar terms like ding-dong, weiner, weenie, gonads (balls)and nuts. These words are usually only used among themselves, as there's a sense that talking about genitalia is Not Done.

Pre-teens and teens start using sexual terms: stiffy/stiff one, woody/morning wood, boner, and hard on to mean "erection" and dick, prick, and cock for penis.

It would be really odd for an adult here to use stiffy, woody, or boner, since those are mostly adolescent words.

Three more that I know are specific to the transgendered community. Bottom surgery- turning a vagina into a penis- isn't up to standard, so those who go through with it end up with (to the best of my understanding) either 'normal' sized but non-functioning cocks or very small cocks that are functioning. These small cocks are sometimes called "boydicks", "transdick" or "trannycock".

I saw a documentary about the pregnant transman, and he said that male hormones had made his clitoris grow large enough so that he could have penetrative sex with his wife. I thought that was interesting.
