I need a Serious Friend From My Youth, A Loner Who Broods, A Woman Whom I’ve Always Lusted After But Never Got With, An All American Boy ( who will die before the end ) And A Token Minority. Who wants to fill these roles, and what adventures will we have? \*\* Do you know anyone who would fit any of these roles? 😉 ---

It’s probably clean. I doubt it’s very Royal. ---

I’d like to apply for the Fat Guy position please. I’d also try to blend the wisdom of Bluto from Animal House with the wisdom of Jeremy Piven’s dude in PCU. ---

Just to let you all know… I saw this thread and opened it because I thought it was going to be about something serious. Then I giggled to myself over the OP and forwarded it to my spouse to read. He got a good laugh too and I subscribed to watch what happened next… Well now this phrase has taken over a life of it’s own. It has now been incorporated into my own life’s little rituals and it needs to stop before it gets out of hand. Just today while bathing our month old son my husband looked at me and uttered ‘the royal penis is clean your highness’ :eek: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > **It’s probably clean. I doubt it’s very Royal.** Royal Blue, maybe, if he keeps it up … uh, that did come out the way I intended … And THAT wasn’t my intention to come out at all … I better stop while I’m behind. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by tanookie_ > **… it needs to stop before it gets out of hand.** Too late for that. Maybe it’s still too soapy if it’s getting out of hand. [sub]I’m sorry if referencing a situation with a baby is too perverted. It kinda wierds me, but we’ve got two boys, and I couldn’t pass up such a line.[/sub] ---

I just want Weirddave to know that after reading the OP I went over to \*\* Pump Action Gerbil \*\*and announced that the royal penis was clean. He seemed unmoved…but I enjoyed it! ---

I’m overjoyed that other Dopers are saying this phrase to their SOs, while **Ginger** still holds out. Guess I’m going to have to pack the phrase with me and take it to Bawlmer to try on **tdc**! ---

All right I’ve got it. Maybe she’ll go for one of these: Il penis reale ¨¨ pulito, la sua altezza. Le penis royal est propre, votre hauteur. El pene real es limpio, su agudeza. Unfortunately I can’t find it in the language of love, Afrikaans. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/communication-marriage-and-compromise/209514.md?page=2)
