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.

Finnish:

kyrpä: very vulgar. I only see this in pornier literature, but then again the company I keep is polite ;)

pippeli: used by small children or playfully

kikkeli: see above, but this could be used by adults too in a non-sexual context (slightly more vulgar)

kalu: lit. tool, can be used when males talk to other males (or when women talk about their significant other's penis to their lady friends). This isn't too vulgar, and I wouldn't be shocked to see it used in a newspaper, for example.

muna: lit. egg, used especially by teenagers, and in the expression "imeä munaa" (suck dick)

I'll add more if I think of them! :)
