	So, does your language have a male name that's a dysphemism for "penis"? Got spare money?

Finnish has Jorma. English has Dick (D-i-c-k in case the forum is being politically corrupted). German, I hear, has Willi, although I'm not sure of that at all. Are there any other languages with names like that?

(as Winston said, these words are not really very "polite"... so I guess they actually are dysphemisms)

Don't forget about Johnson in English too. Although...do people actually use that or is it just on the big lebowski?

Børge

Although I'm not too sure about the euphemism part. I think most people would say that 'penis' is actually a nicer term than 'Børge'...

No, johnson is old. Though it is arguably also a last name. We use Peter here in the U.S. as well.

In this part of DK there's no names that's an dysphemism for "penis"... Winston says "Børge", but there's two things that doesn't fit here:

1) I have never heard "Børge"* been used like that
and
2) The only place I've ever heard the name "Børge" been used (as a name) is in old movies (which mostly took place on that strange island called Sjælland in danish (what's the english name?))


*or any other danish name for that matter

I think Piet means penis. I don't think anyone uses piet though.. it sounds incredibly silly and lame. We simply use "lul" as in "lul" or "vieze lul" (which means dirty dick, which sounds a bit funny in English )

if you want you can use just any name in German, just use a possessive construction...

"sein Willi" would be as direct as "sein Johannes", which is the most common I think. an der Nase eines Mannes...

1) Me neither.

2) That must be very dissapointing for those 9.578 who has that name according to Danmarks Statistik, and no, it's not my name

Zealand.

It's an area in central Europe that's been inhabited for a pretty long time, so I wouldn't be surprised if it did have a specifically transliterated name in English. And that name seems to be Zealand: http://www.answers.com/topic/zealand

EDIT:
well at least Shetland doesn't make any sense... aren't they islands between Wales and Ireland? I thought you were just trying to guess some islands near UK.

But the origin of New Zealand still confuses me... what on earth that island did have to do with Zealand when it was originally discovered?

"Ming" is only one letter from popular slang for vagina.
