[sub]I apologize if this has been done before.[/sub] Pud, dick, dong, wang, Johnson, dode, pecker, tally-whacker, willie, John Thomas, schwanz, shlong, shmeckel, prick, cock… etc. What I want is slang for “penis” in other languages. Becuase, uh, you never know when they might come in handy (no pun intended 😛 ). “Shmeckel,” “shlong” & “schwanz” all sound vaguely Yiddish. “Dong” & “wang” sound vaguely Chinese. Any others? ---

[hijack] When Wayne Wang’s movie CHAN IS MISSING first came out, some wiseass climbed up in the middle of the night and changed the movie marquee to read “WAYNE CHAN’S WANG IS MISSING” Actually, although I remember this happening at a theatre on the Upper West Side, it now sounds so unlikely (no cops around? Really?) that I wonder if someone just TOLD me this happened, as in “Wouldn’t it be witty if…?” [end hijack] ---

“Tippi” is the generally accepted Icelandic word for “penis.” [insert Tippi Hedren joke here] Aside from that one, as seems to be the case with most languages there’s a whole bevy of different terms, most of which would be uncool to use as slang in English because they’re quite esoteric and, I imagine, fairly unpronouncable to most Americans. That said, when am I ever gonna get the legitimate chance to post these on a message board again? So without further ado, I present to you: **Fnoonf’s Incomplete And Unscientific Index of Practical Icelandic Penile Terms** **Böllur** _(BUDD-lur)_ (schlong) **Skaufi** _(SKUH-ee-vih)_ (dick) **Göndull** _(GUND-uhdl)_\* (cock) **Lókur** _(LOW-cur)_ (prick) **Tilli** _(TILL-uh)_ (willie) **Jón Tómasson** _(YONE TOME-us-son)_ (John Thomas) OK, kidding about that last one. Well, hope that helped some. I can rest easy now, confident that I’ve done my part in the ongoing battle against ignorance, at least for today. \*This pronunciation is quite literally impossible to convey properly without the use of phonetic symbols and/or major oral surgery. ---

Spain: “Pinto” means “small penis” in Spanish slang. This is why the car of the same name did not sell well there. Phillippines (or Korea, I forget which): Remember the characters on the sitcom “Happy Days?” Remember Joanie? Remember Chachi? Remember a short-lived TV show called “Joanie Loves Chachi?” I have heard that the premiere of “Joanie Loves Chachi” was the highest-rated television show ever in the Phillippines (or Korea, I forget which). It seems that “chachi” is local dialect for “penis”, naturally… ---

In Hebrew, the most common slang term for dick is _Zayyin,_ pronounced just like Americans pronounce “Zion.” That made for some great puns in my Zionist youth movement, let me tell you! [sub]“I’m an up-and-coming Zionist!” “Together, we can erect the Zion of our dreams.”[/sub] ---
