My uncle, a Folklorist at Memorial U in Newfoundland, brought up a research topic he has been working on for the last few years at a family dinner this past summer. He, along with several graduate students who study under his tutelage, have been compiling a list of ALL the English slang terms for penis through the ages, compiling them into groups based upon theme, shape, foodtype, and cross referencing them with politics at the time, to try and trace the evolution of sexual lingo.

Listening to my aunts and uncles and grandmother enthusiastically list all the slang terms they could think of, in English, French and Portuguese, over sushi was potentially one of the strangest moments in my life.

Also, just about the funniest and somewhat the most awkward.
