[@Bacopa68]

Some US dialects have German derived Bubbie and Bubba to mean "honored elder" with Bubba used as a nickname for some men, a "good ol' boy" or sometimes a boss. I think this is similar to the Yiddish derived Bubeleh, a term of endearment, related to Bubeh, an informal term for grandmother.

[@AliWadiHasan]

In the Levant, it's common to call the male organ (mainly for kids) a pigeon, the rationalization being that "it sets on eggs", as the testicles are commonly called eggs in Arabic. Interestingly, some call the female part a nest (not very common, but definitely out there). Apparently, the connection between birds and these parts is not limited to English. would be interesting to learn if other languages have similar trends too.

When I was growing up “bird” was one of the most acceptable (i.e. less crude) slangs for the AMRO.

[@totot99]

In Malaysia, we variously euphemistically call it burung (bird), punai (dove), bebird (/bəbəd/ - from reduplication of bird; bird-bird. reduplication is a feature in Malay where one of its functions is imitation). In Malaysian English we have cuckoobird.

[@gyaltsengoh1259]

Lol my mom says it to me

[@Mortyrian]

etymology is always facinating. If I were to name a body part after a bird I like the hottentot bird name and hotten could mean enflamed and tot is something small so an enflamed small spot on the body could be called a hottentot.

[@Defektyd]

That thumbnail is a bit too clever 😭. For other bird-body names, we could call the Amro a toucan (because beak), our mouths vultures (as they're famous scavengers, and mouths are used to eat). Could call our eyes magpies (ooh, that rhymes) as magpies are thought to like things that look shiny.

[@JamesDavy2009]

In Romanian we almost always use the bird variants when talking to kids about these areas and they are always diminutives, "cocoșel"(littles rooster) for AMRO and "păsărică"(birdy) for AFRO.

[@martinbruhn5274]

In my native german dialect (which is apparently linguistically classified as "upper rhine allemanic"), a small baby, that is still getting breast milk is called a "bebberle", which kind of maybe sounds a bit like "bubby", what you mentioned. Maybe there is a connection? Btw, similar to "bebberle", there is a dialect word "bebber", which means "sticker" (-le is the diminutive form), maybe because it gets so closely attached, like a baby to a, you know what?

[@Bacopa68]

I always heard the word "booby" for "albatross" came from Nedernalds and Neidersachish where "booby" meant "on the breast. The implication is that the birds are inexperienced and naive. Similar to the English "sucker".

I always thought that the term Cock for the AMRO was derived more from the term of cocking back ammunition in a gun. Since the act of solo stimulation vaguely mirrors the act of cocking back a shot gun

[@benhetland576]

I thought also the "cock" was referring to the little hammer-like part of especially a revolver that is used to ignite the ammunition when firing. Incidentally this is also called _hane_ meaning 'cock(erel)' in Norwegian, hinting perhaps at a common reference to the bird rather than word origin.

In Norwegian a bird name sometimes used for the female AMRO is _høne_ meaning 'hen'. A more common synonym is not a feline but rather a _mus_ ('mouse'). On the other hand the cockerel does not refer to the male counterpart.

[@markmontani4339]

On a related note, how does a length of plumbing pipe with a thread (screw cutting) on at least one end get to be called a "nipple"? Moreover, there's a "male nipple" when the tread is around the outer end of the pipe & a "female nipple" if it's along the interior.

​@@psiphiorgBecause its an onomotopoeia, not an actual word. There is no "correct spelling."

[@psiphiorg]

@@LeyScar, plenty of onomotopoeic words have "correct spellings", such as buzz, bang, meow, and hiss. Hocking up phlegm (or saliva) is based on the "hock" sound that the throat makes when doing that action, and the spelling has been around for at least 40 years. Yes, "hawk" and "hock" are homophones (at least in my accent), but since there was already a hock spelling, there's no need to duplicate hawk. To the best of my knowledge, there wasn't already an established word for the "tuah" sound, so the creator of the phrase was of course free to spell it any which way they wanted.

[@LeyScar]

@@psiphiorg You have a great point, but, liguistically speaking, onomotopoeias have no objectively "wrong" spelling. "Buzz" can be a word OR an onomotopoeia. The word is spelled "Buzz", but the sound can be spelled many ways: Meow --> Mew or mrer or miauu Buzz --> Bzz, bzzt, bzzzr Hiss --> Hssss Furthermore, both 'hock' and 'hawk' already both have their own definitions, so it wouldnt really make sense to say that there isnt any need to duplicate hawk.

In the Philippines, we call the male private part as "Bird". It's always in English and not in any local languages. Example: Gurl! I saw my crush's bird and it's huge. However when we use the local languages entirely in the sentence (If we don't want to use a mix of local languages and English) We tend to use Food names instead. Clitoris = Mani (Peanut) Vagina = Pechay (Cabbage) Penis = Talong (Eggplant) Penis = Hotdog Small Penis = Kikiam (Chinese street food) This might be unrelated but my favorite one is: If a male genitals are somewhat expose (either accidentally or intentionally) we say: "Uhm, Sir!
