[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.

Here in Texas (and likely other places in the U.S. with a strong Hispanic influence), testicles are sometimes referred to as "huevos," the Spanish word for eggs. It tends to be used to imply great masculinity and/or hubris, i.e. "It takes some huevos to do that."

Also, "Cojones" in the same context.

(I hope I got the spelling right)
