I’m writing a trivia quiz and one of the questions is about testicles in a general sort of way. I’m trying to come up with a funny/slang term for the organs. So far I have rocks, jewels, and nuts. Any other ideas out there? ---

Folklorist Vance Randolph observed in his book \*\*Pissing in the Snow[/B[ that “Knockers” was used as slang for testicles (not for beasts) in the Ozarks in the early 20th century. Eggs. Huevos. Prairie Oysters. ---

> [@](#): > > I thought “Prairie Oyster” was slang for vagina? Nope. “Prairie Oysters” refers to bull testicles (and maybe bison?), and by extension to human equipment. It’s also used (in “Cabaret”) for a concoction of raw egg with unbroken yolk, Worcestershire sauce, and other stuff, presumably for its resemblance to the above. I;'ve never heard it used for female parts. (Unless this is a whoosh) ---
