pecker
word
Definition
A 'pecker' is a slang word that can mean a woodpecker (a bird that taps on trees) or, in vulgar slang, a man's penis.
Usage & Nuances
Very informal; 'pecker' is safe for woodpecker in technical or literal contexts but is often used as crude slang for 'penis' in the US and UK. Avoid in polite conversation. Other meanings include 'mind' or 'courage' in older usage ('keep your pecker up'), but these are less common today.
