Nimrod the mighty hunter
While watching a documentary on the English language tonight, I have just learned the following list of euphemisms used for the male appendage during the time of (but not by) Jane Austen:

Pike of Pleasure. ROTFLMAO!
Mutton Dagger - ewwwww. I grew up in sheep country, and the jokes were always plentiful. And you only "think" Jane Austen didn't use the terms. Who knows, she could have had a rocking double life.
I second that one - ewwwwwwww!
LOL
The things one learns here! lol
Gak! Beloved Guest???? Who was she kidding?
Those are a hoot! Although I have to chime in with the "ewwwww!"
It was the Pike of Pleasure that had me rolling on the ground. How many of these terms were coined by men do you think?
This is only a partial list
Once upon a time in England, and innocent woman was looking for a quilting product for a 'Purple Basting Gun' and accidentally (genuinely) clicked on this link http://tinyurl.com/y99pz6j . She just about wet her pants laughing at the weird way men work!
Nimrod, in my families vernacular, has always been a term applied to a less than intelligent man. Equivalent to Dumb-ass. In his stand-up comedian days, Robin Williams reffered to his as Willie the One-Eyed Wonder Worm.
I had to ewwww at the Tail Pipe one, considering what area of the body is typically reffered to as the tail.
Stephen says that this list omits his favourite overheard euphemism "release the hostages".
Its that pesky Y chromosome again isn't it? Just doesn't make sense to us XXer's.
That is the same in my family.
It is why men have the Y. We look at them, shake our heads and say "Y? (why)".
I may have to leave. To much man bashing going on around here!
It's all becaise the missing leg of the Y chromsome that codes for braincells and commonsense. I actually wrote that in a genetics questions for A level biology. I think that might have been the reason for choosing computing over sciences in the end. Too many targets!
I was wondering about that fact, too... most of them I'd guess.
I think they all fail to impress me
