Which word came first? Richard, Dick, or Penis?
Which word came first? Richard, Dick, or Penis?
And why the hell are they even associated in the first place?
You're viewing a single thread.
There are plenty of other names and I'd be surprised if the ones you used are the oldest or even the most popular.
Penis is derived from the Latin for "tail". As penis came to mean schlong over time, Latin switched to cauda. Dick only became a euphemism for the fuckstick in the 1980s. Why? I have no idea. But other proper names are/have been used including "Peter", "Johnson", and "John Thomas" that I can think of off the top of my head.
It would be awesome if you or someone could provide a link towards a relevant article backing what you said. But hey, your words sound loosely legitimate.. 👍
Prior to the adoption of the Latin word in English, the penis was referred to as a "yard".
No wonder men love working in the yard. It’s just an extension of playing with their penis.
Damn, that reminds me, I left my penis out on the balcony to dry. I'll be right back..
Detachable penis if you've never heard the song.
Well yeah, obviously. Lots of other terms for it as well.
But seriously, who, why, and when did they decide to nickname the penis as a dick? And who decided that Dick is an appropriate nickname for Richard?
And who named the organ the penis in the first place?
Penises are called dicks because of the idiomatic reference "every Tom, Dick and Harry" for ordinary people.
Explain
Think mint juleps on a breezy afternoon, but with dicks in them. Clinking around with the ice. See where I’m going with this?
No, but please elaborate...
But we had Dick Nixon, Dick Cavett, and Dick van Dyke during that period.And lots more. So I don't think that's it.
As a long term owner of a dick, I'm pretty sure we don't have periods.
