Weird. In England, a euphemism for penis is 'lesser spotted aardwolf'. And I heard once that New Zealanders call it the 'green goat monkey', but maybe that's urban myth.
I'm joking, of course. OR AM I?
Actually my favourite animal-euphemism-for-male-genitalia is 'One-eyed trouser snake'. Whoever thought that up deserves either a medal or to be shot; I can't quite decide which.

Incidentally, while on the subject of cultural differences, did you know that weasel is an American euphemism for the penis?

"Lesser spotted aardwolf" is what we call New Zealanders! What an odd coincidence, eh?
