I was perusing an etymological dictionary, and, like an 8-year old, I immediately looked up the word “penis.” I haven’t changed at all. I remember when I was younger I would look up the word “sex” in every dictionary I could get my hands on (if I had a time machine I would go back in time and stuff child-me in a locker). Anyway, “sex” was always next to some picture of a “sewing machine.” That led to years of confusion.
As for the fact…well, the etymological dictionary told me that the proper plural for penis is “penes.”
I would hate to be the guy that had a reason to make the plural of that word. Or would I love to be that guy…
That’s all I got to say about that.
