        It’s more of a slang word. I think it’s a variation of the word “pippeli” which means the same thing.

            Those are basically the same word though, and the one that people generally use if you have to talk to children/around children about penises. (So the implication of it being small comes more from the connotation of the penis being that of a child’s, so if you had one as an adult…)

            It’s like how in English “Richard” is somehow the longer form of “Dick”, or “Chuck” short for “Charles”.

                Idk that it works like that in English. Let me give it a whirl.

                “Hey babe, come over, I’m gonna richard your brains out”

                Mmm… I’m gonna need to digest this a bit

                  If this doesn’t roll over your tongue easily, maybe that says more about the size of your penis than about the English language. Or maybe it doesn’t. I’m not a native speaker

                    It’s not really about the ease-of-use as much it’s about the connotations.

                    “Richard” meaning big…?

                    Eeh…
