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.. π
Penis.
Cauda
No wonder men love working in the yard. Itβs 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.
