It's called The Bald-Headed Hermit & the Artichoke: An Erotic Thesaurus compiled by one A.D. Peterkin.
You think "cock" is too crass or over-used? How about "gristle-stick" or "plugtail?" (As you might imagine, the list of synonyms and slang for this item is several pages long).

OK, I'm off to a BBQ in a little bit. Go nuts!

Sometimes a cock is a rooster, sometimes a wang is a computer, sometimes a dick is a gumshoe, but there ain't nuthin else a penis can be ... um, okay, unless it's an oosik. But even then ...) %]
