My favorite euphemism is my associates. Great for catching people off guard! Would you like to meet my associates?

You know, I thought many and many a time about making this list public. And then I think "Oh god, no."

Don't blame us. Mollusque is the guy with the lexicon.

Oh no. There's a lexicon.

From the Cyclopedic Lexicon of Sex: twins, berries, creamballs, fries, seed factory, razoos, rollies, tommy rollocks, oysters, innominables, bobbles, bean pods, culls, and testosities.

Well done, that's a perfect explanation! Now the testicles of Russia are fully within chained_bear's grasp, as it were.

Bilby, you're right about the Russian word, which I would transliterate as yaichko, and about its origin (as a diminutive of яйцо – yaytso – "egg"), but the pronunciation is more like this yah-EECH-ka (the second Cyrillic letter is a full "i", not a "short i").

яичко is a Russian word meaning testicle, literally 'little egg'. Pronunciation would be something like 'YAYCH-ka', rolig or someone else knowledgeable might be able to confirm/correct that.

OK, I feel somewhat guilty even viewing this list, let alone contributing to it, but, if we're talking about the "nearby parts" (should that really be plural?!?) I have to say this list is incomplete without:
dangler
member
spitting cobra

Mollusque, I would like to thank you for your voluminous contributions... only before I had a chance, I read the definition of lamb fries and now I'm about to chunder.

P.S. sionnach, that was a good one!

Hi c_b, a search of OED online turns up more testicular terminology (some of it obsolete): cobblers, dimissaries, dowsets, genitors, goolies, knackers, marbles, monkey glands, nadgers, nutmegs, pendants, and pills. "Lamb fries", which I suggested before, are "The products of lambs' castration" eaten fried.

As Lance Armstrong would say, it really takes ball to start a list like this.

Avocado(s) for the etymology.

Scollops, often in the joc(k)ular form scollies.

Oh, sorry, SoG, didn't see your comment until now! Yes, someone else suggested family jewels, but I just went with jewels, figuring you could put "family" in front of a number of these terms.

Lamb fries? I'm unfamiliar with that one.

How about lamb fries? (Listed in OED2.)

Another testicular remark

How about "family jewels"?

You know, I like both john thomas and trouser snake, but it seems like they don't belong here, despite the caveat in the list description that the list includes terms for nearby parts. I added them anyway--but not peter, about which I feel the same way as I do about tampax--I don't like the term enough even to put it on a list of terms I don't like. Thanks for the suggestions!

Then there's "trouser snake".....

thefreedictionary says peter
Peter is also a euphemism for penis; see There's a Skeeter on My Peter.

Nearby parts, SoG? Gosh, this list could become the next "-tory." ;-)

Comment by SonofGroucho, about 1 year ago

May I suggest "john thomas"? Though this is in the "nearby parts" category.

Comment by AbraxasZugzwang, about 1 year ago

May I suggest peeper, in honor of my grandmother?

Also, why have I not favorited this list yet?

Comment by chained_bear, about 1 year ago

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 11:05:35 +0000

Well, jewels is on the list. I figured you could put "family" in front of several of these.

I still like junk. It makes me giggle.

Comment by AbraxasZugzwang, about 1 year ago

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 05:16:30 +0000

family jewels

My favorite is still...
