One of many euphemistic terms for a penis. Most famously used in this context in the Big Bang Theory episode, "The Boyfriend Complexity." In that episode, Howard and
Raj accidentally kissed each other in the control room for a telescope. The next day, when Leonard casually asked Howard and
Raj what had happened, both of them freaked out, even though Leonard hadn'
t heard about the
kiss.
(FROM THE BIG BANG THEORY)
*Sheldon and Leonard are at the table in the cafeteria.
Raj joins them.*
LEONARD: Oh, how'd it
go last night?
RAJ: Oh, you know, same old same old. Looked through a telescope, saw some stars, big move.
LEONARD: Really? You waited months for a time with that telescope. What happened?
RAJ: Why? You writing a book?
SHELDON: I'm going to propose a hypothesis. Last night,
Raj accidentally made contact with an alien civilization, and has been ordered by the United States government to keep it a secret.
RAJ: Nothing happened! Can we please just change the subject?!
SHELDON: That sounds rehearsed. We are not alone.
*Howard walks over to the table.*
HOWARD:
Hey.
LEONARD:
Hey.
SHELDON: Hello.
HOWARD:
Hey.
RAJ:
Hey.
LEONARD: You get to play with Raj's big telescope last night?
*Howard and Raj both react with shock.*
HOWARD: Where'd that come from?!
RAJ: He never touched my telescope!!
HOWARD: Way to go shutting up!
RAJ: I did shut up, now you shut up!
HOWARD: Fine!
RAJ: Thank you!
RAJ: I can't believe you didn't call me this morning.
