Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Will Matter: Seems like men have "yarbles" and boys have "yongles". I will now look around for a metaphysical "hot poker" to drive through my "minds eye" (to erase the image this question has evoked). ;0) Seriously, totally acceptable and correct answer.
