pecker

pecker
   the penis
   Literally, an instrument for making a hole by pecking:
    ... caution a feller about despairing of his poor engine and perhaps hitting his pecker with a hammer. (Theroux, 1973)
   The British pecker was the nose, whence the expression keep your pecker up, keep cheerful, an exhortation which an American might find impracticable as well as impertinent.
