So, I just thought I'd pass along some valuable information concerning a favorite word everyone has. The plural of "penis" is "penes." It is neither "penises" nor the much beloved "penii."

Now, tell your parents!

Wow, this thread DID deliver.
Not only did I learn the plural of my most favourite word, I also learned that Vlees up here = Satan

Wow. This is something I've always wanted to know, but was too afraid to ask. Thanks Synastren!

The penis (plural penises) or phallus (plural phalli) is the external male sexual organ of some animals, and, in mammals, the external male organ of urination. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis)

"Penii" sounds so much more sophisticated, though.

Penii reminds me too much of Carthaginian infantry /o\. Regardless of what the dictionary says though, I will always favour "wangs".
