What did your parents call your penis?

What did your parents, especially your mother, call your penis?

My own mother called it the “device" (appareil in French). This is not standard. Perhaps this was short for appareil genital (genital apparatus, genitalia), but I don't think she also meant the testes.

If she wanted to refer to the whole genital area, for instance for reminding me to wash, she could say the “front” (devant), as opposed to the buttocks and anal area, “behind” (derrière). Both places were collectively referred to as “the below” (le bas), as in “remember to wash below”.

As long as I can remember my dad just called it a dick. Even when i was a little kid.

Pee tail

When i was a little kid, my parents said “TT” (or maybe “tee-tee”?) to refer to both a penis as well as urination.

My wife's grandmother called the penis a “weeker-woonie.”

They said weenee lol. It would always make me giggle a ton.

As far as I remember, parents simply called it my penis. Sisters called it my wee-wee.

Even I was a little kid my grandpa called it a cock.

In Germany we have a lot of words for it. Many of them can't be translated. But I would say that “Schwanz” = tail, is the most common.

Doodad

My parents called his & my penises our "tail”.

Not an entirely wrong label, as penis is derived from the Latin word for tail.

I still always considered it a shameful term; I never learned the word penis until seventh-grade sex ed.

I've been trying hard to remember what my parents called my penis. These weren't things or body parts much talked about in my family.

I do however seem to remember my father using terms like ‘tally-whacker’ that would have been perfectly suited for a movie about the Civil War for instance or maybe in a saloon bordello in a western movie … ha ha

I hope it goes without saying that I found the word utterly ridiculous and childish.

When I was a little kid, it was always referred to as a “Tinkle”.

My parents always used the correct word for body parts. So I had a penis, anus, scrotum, testicles and for that matter, ears, eyes, nose, finger, toe, etc.

Which is one reason why I absolutely cringe whenever I hear people talking/writing about the movie ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’.

Frankly, to me it sounds like a movie about wanking off and using child talk about (pardon me) going Number Two … utterly mortifying … ha ha

My scientifically inclined mother just used the proper medical terms for everything. I had girls, so to me it was funny what the other moms in the neighborhood called their young son's equipment. One of my favorites was “weenus”…. I said you're going to give the kid a complex!

What's wrong with my Ding-a-Ling? I guess we had to wait for Chuck Berry to know what it really is.

It has been many years since I have heard this song

What's wrong with my Ding-a-Ling?

Come to think of, this reminds me of Ding Dongs, you know the kind they sell in supermarkets and stores.

I didn't remember them from my time living in the US (or probably my mother wouldn't have dreamed of buying them). But in any case, the first times I encountered the word Ding Dong in a movie or TV show, I somehow thought it sounded quite a lot like a childish name for a penis.

Wee wee

My mother called it “ your little man”.

My parents were Norwegian. For some reason they referred to it as “pilton”, but I can't find a Norwegian translation for it other than both words start with a “p”.

In our family and extended family, both male and female genitalia were known as “a tinkle”.

When I was young and I was told by my older female cousin and her friend “let’s have a game of tinkles”, I was erect in seconds!

My Mom always called it a “birdie” even when I was much older and she had some reason to mention it. Once when bathing at the extended family place I got reminded by uncle to wash my “little sparrow”. And the nurse that washed it once called it a “peepee" despite me being almost grown up. It's fun to recall those moments.

Usually just penis, actually. My dad would say dick, cock, junk, etc.

My Mom always called it a “birdie” even when I was much older and she had some reason to mention it.

Hmmm … interesting.

In Dutch there is the slightly naughty word ‘vogelen’ which could translate as ‘birding’, meaning a man having penetrative sex in a not all that serious/committed way. In English it could translate as a more or less lighthearted type of fornication.

So I guess having a birdie to bird around with makes sense … 😃

« Petit oiseau » (little bird). We had chosen this name after a discussion with my brother and my mother among several proposals.

Always called it a penis.

If I remember right I believe it was referred to as my pee pee

Private parts or “johnson”. I typically use “dick” in text or convo now, not like that happens frequently in polite company.
