I personally don’t refer to Big Wally by the word “pecker”. But “peckerhead” and “peckerwood” are often names I bestow on my fellow motorists. ---

Non sequitur time. I’ve always wanted to sleep with a guy who calls his dick Dagon. 🙂 That is all. ---

y’all have me wondering about names now. as dick is the more in vogue name now-a-days, i notice there are less guys nicknamed dick. they tend to be older guys (there are a few exceptions ie a certain car racer, and baseball player) like the vp. most young guys are rick(y)s, rich(ie)s, or full name richards (pause for the jane seymour scream). i don’t met many baby boomer or older peters, but there seem to be a whole slew of them in the 20-30 age group. any thoughts? ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] I personally don’t refer to Big Wally by the word “pecker”. But “peckerhead” and “peckerwood” are often names I bestow on my fellow motorists. [/QUOTE] Yeah I only hear pecker as part of “peckerwood.” Mine is my “unit” or “Little \” Not that it’s little or anything. Just littler than me as a whole. Had to clarify that, whew. ---

You also hear it in the phrase “Hotter than a two-peckered billygoat.” ---

Around here it’s “Hotter than a three-petered tomcat.” ---

As **Sanity Challenged** said, pecker is only used for comedic effect. But I do use it in that context to good effect on occasion. It’s connotations of small size, insignificance, and sexual annoyingness come in handy. I never really hear peter used. It’s just as archaic, but somehow it’s just not funny. ---

One guy. Used every name there was to refer to his male organ. It was worth talking about … [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-any-guy-actually-refer-to-their-genitals-as-their-pecker/418435.md?page=2)
