blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

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.

Well, I have nothing to add that has not already been said but I once again find myself wishing I had a copy of the script for Hair (what do they call that it theatre lingo, the dialogue of a musical - the book?) as there is a lovely poem all about the penis. I think I may have to break down and special order it from some fancy theatre website. Goddamn, I love Hair. *off to put on soundtrack*
