The women on farms deal with with raising stock, so it wasn’t to hard to find a grandma that talked about peckers and the like. The kids on a farm see mating animals before they’re school age, and usually beat the city kids to knowing about sex and birth.
Pepper Mill uses “pecker” as the standard word for penis. Of course, she may be over 40.
In Jr. High where I grew up, ‘‘peter’’ and ‘‘pecker’’ were pretty standard from the 12-14 year old guys.
:rolleyes:
I wouldn’t call the word archaic. But immature? Yeah.
Ok, I’ll bite. What does your niece have to do with your penis?
My husband uses pecker, peter, dick, willy, weiner, and johnson. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say cock or penis. He does have a Harley.
I’ve heard it used, but I’m almost 50. It used to be a common expression here. I even know a little song about it…
I’m 58, and I’ve only heard it used by women, and none younger than me.
There’s one near-exception. An old pal once held up a bottle of peppermint schnapps, and he said, “Here, take a slug of this. It’ll make your sticker peck out.”
Only when kidding around. Like, “hey, you’ve been out in the woods; better check your pecker for ticks.” Stupid stuff like that.
I took it to mean that he had something which only the True King of the Britons could properly use. Good luck with that, by the way.
One of the stories my mother just loves to bring up is from when I was 4 years old (so we’re talking 1978), and some stranger made a comment about how I was squirming around, and I told her “sorry, ma’am, but if I don’t pinch my pecker I’m gonna pee my pants!”
It’s one of those out of fashion words that can occassionally be fun to drop into a conversation for comedic effect.
Isn’t “pecker” the slang-term-of-choice for most of the crusty old dudes in Stephen King novels? That’s pretty much the only context in which I’ve heard it, anyway.
When my son, now 17, first presented himself on sonogram, my OB said “It’s a boy! There’s his pecker.” I asked if that was the correct term and he claimed it was.
He also said I’d have a short labor. 11 hours later…
Just a crude joke, nothing more…

I use the term, “dong.”
I try to use all the terms. I throw the ol “tallywhacker” in there for good measure. Can’t have 3 or 4 names that you constantly recycle.
I’ve been using “pee pee” for a couple of weeks now. Time to change.
I’ll second this, you need to have lots of names to use. Sort of like several alternate identiites, fake IDs and duffle bags of cash in various bus terminal lockers…uh oh, I’ve said too much.

Oh yeah specifically to the OP, pecker yup. Goober, lots of the time. It’s a medical term;
“I’ve gotten a case of Gooberdo.”
“Gooberdo?”
“Yeah, I noticed the other day my belly now sticks out further than my goober do.”
I think I’ll switch to “Spam Harpoon” now.
…just 'cause I can.
You really should have gotten your first sonogram more than 11 hours before you gave birth…
You can take a nod from Boccaccio’s Decameron and call it “The Dibber Used to Plant Men”.
It takes a while to say, but it’s worth it for the effect.
Nah, that’s what’s known in these parts as “building a shed for my tool”.
