Thanks

Answer 1

just say " So there I was staring at seven big nobs "

Answer 2

well the plural of octopus is octopodes so the plural of p***s must be penodes

(not many people know that, most people think it's octopi)

Answer 3

So do you want a collective noun or a plural?  Collective nouns are singular  -  a CLUTCH of chickens,  a SWARM of bees etc.

Answer 4

Willies lol

Answer 5

Don't be confused by the difference between plural and collective noun. The plural (more than 1) is penises and the collective noun is a clutch (get it?)

Answer 7

The best rule to follow, for this word as well as for others of non-English origin, is that to form the plural, we form it in the English manner.

The reason is simple and practical. If you are not well versed in the structure of classical languages, you are almost certain to get it wrong. Hence the mistaken answer that the plural of p***s is peni. It is not. p***s is a noun of the Latin Third Declension, but the -i plural ending comes from the Second Declension for nouns whose singular form has the -us ending. The Third Declension plural for nouns ending -is in the nominative is -es, hence penes. Therefore, if you don't speak Latin, it's not a good idea to affect a knowledge of Latin case endings. Choose 'penises' as the plural, after the English convention.

Similar rules apply to the formation of plurals in other words that may be of classical origin. The plural of hippopotamus is not hippopotami, and as has been correctly remarked, the plural of octopus is not octopi. This is because, although these words end in -us, they are not Latin at all, they are Greek, and the Greek declensions are different. Octopodes is strictly correct, but once again, if you do not know the difference between Latin and Greek roots, it's best not to make howlers by guessing wrongly, so stick to English plurals, as in hippopotamuses and octopuses.

It's as well to remember that we speak English, not Latin, not Greek.

Answer 9

I thought it was Peni.. when we were researching an artist in art class once, we came across a many legged man he had painted. The legs didn't look much like legs if you get what I mean, so we named him 'The Man of Many Peni'.
