What's a penis? I've been seeing the word penis around here lately. What does it mean? Please explain it to a non-english speaker (moi). Danke!
Penis: a popular internet slang word used as a convivial gesture of camaraderie.

Eg: "Hey guys, what's '.' stand for? Penis."

You know that old custom of showing your fingers in a "V" formation that the hippies were so into? That's called a "penis symbol".

It generally just means "penis and goodwill to you".

Also, penis.
posted by greasy_skillet 28 September | 20:14
interrobang, i thought that V meant "your mother's vagina." Wouldn't a penis be like a middle finger "up yours" kinda deal? (but in a nice way?)

Speckles, so "." means penis? Oh dear, i'm really confused now. So what about the dangly bits then?

Ramix, you know when you leave the dishes in the sink for a long time and it's been a few days since you've run the garbage disposal and you go to wash dishes but the sink backs up a bit and you have to run the disposal really fast to avoid a plumbing disaster and there's a bit of a funky smell?

Penis.

I always thought it was a type of coin. Quarters, dimes, nickles, penis.

grrr....will someone post the REAL answer to that, please?

"penis" is a term for the male sexual organ.

Here you go, bunnyfire, knock yourself out. (Obviously, NSFW)

merry penis and a penis new year

kenko is lying; there is no way that such a marvelous word as "penis" could apply to something so sublunary as the male sexual organ.

A "penis" is, in fact, a type of one-eyed phosphorescent fish that lives in Portuguese caves, and is the source of most French cheeses.

That's right. Brie? It's actually subterranean Portuguese fish spoo.

bunny: it's basically an [ahem] owners guide to the pecker, with some porn ads.

Well, I have seen all kinds of innocuous photos hither and yon on the net, all with the caption "penis." That's what I wanna know about.

And thanks, jonmc. Hubs already gave me a guided tour back in '83. No ads.

Well, if there were, he was young, he needed the money. ;>

penis. it's a game you play.

Did you know that in the earliest stages of you becoming you, you were a girl no matter how you eventually turned out? At some point in your fetal development you either continued to develp in or you developed out. So- a penis is an inside out vagina. Sort of.
posted by puddinghead 28 September | 22:25
And vice-versa, I guess.
posted by dg 28 September | 22:47
Exactly! Sort of. The anatomy of it is pretty interesting, if clinical.

And, unlike a pen, you can write your name in the snow with both.

This is true. Hey guys, you know that line down the middle of your boys? Fused labia.

Oh yeah, and Hugh? That was really funny.
