Penis. Is this used outside of jerk the gherkin? Equinox ◑ 15:16, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've heard it use outside of it, but I just thought it was metaphorical usage Leasnam (talk) 15:17, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
If so, still presumably worth a sense, since only certain phallic-object words can mean penis (e.g. "sausage" but not "thumb"). Equinox ◑ 15:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sure. I've added some cites Leasnam (talk) 15:24, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Only certain phallic-object words can mean penis? "thumb" is not terribly phallic, compared to the middle finger, and makes for more confusing slang as another body-part. I'm pretty sure just about anything even vaguely phallic can mean penis.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:42, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Some long hard things that AFAIK can't mean penis: pen, pencil (outside of "pencil dick"), plank, (tree) trunk, gearstick... Equinox ◑ 15:33, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
trunk, gearstick, plank, pencil DTLHS (talk) 15:42, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
