Interactive timelines of slang for genitalia

Two timelines with slang for the male and female genitalia, simply titled The Penis and The Vagina.
The timelines are made by Jonathon Green, a slang lexicographer (previously on MeFi).

I do not understand how "Jewish nightcap" is slang for a foreskin. Like at all.
("Tickle-faggot" for penis, though, I also do not entirely get in an 1890 sense, but I am too in love with it to complain.)

Yes, if you've been swimming in cold water, for example.

If it just means "a bundle of sticks," then it makes perfect sense!
Also: for context, scroll over to the 2000s. I've never heard of 90% of the slang terms listed there. I think a lot of these are probably like "a single book mentions this term one time." Not that I'm complaining.
Well... ok, I'm complaining about the interface a little bit.

Presumably they were using faggot in the "twig" sense of the word.
Tickle-stick.

"Joy stick" dates to 1916? I mean, I guess it makes sense -- planes had them, and there were a lot of dick-obsessed teenagers flying planes in 1916 -- but I'd always assumed the name didn't come until video games.

The actual data seems to go from about 1200–2000. Given the fuzziness of first citation years, I'm not sure that a precise timeline is really the best way to present these. Anyway, the underlying data is JSON files: penis, vagina. I'm too lazy to make a simple text dump.

A lot of these are so obscure that you wonder how one even determines from the context what they were referring to. I guess it's the old "anything becomes a double entendre if you place it in the right rubric" rule. I mean you'd think that "I'd like to put my jug in her nettle-bed, if you know what I mean!" would mostly elicit "no, sorry, I really don't know what you mean" responses, but I guess in fact we'd figure it out.

I guess the explanation for 'tickle-faggot' is obvious unless you got confused about if tickle was modifying a stick as as an adjective or a person as an object. Or something. Thanks.

The thing at the bottom isn't a slider (Christ, that sounds like I'm just stringing slang words for "penis" together at random now). It's a marker. If you want to slide back and forth (ah jeez) use the little arrows on the vertical bar (yeah, yeah) at the right.

J. M. Barrie and the Lost Boys: The Real Story Behind Peter Pan, still after 30 years the best biography I have ever read by far, includes a letter from one of the Llewelyn Davies boys (for whom Peter Pan was originally conceived and upon whom it was modeled), newly ensconced at his elite boarding school, to Barrie and describing his experiences and mentioning in passing that underclassmen were expected to act as valets for upperclassmen and referred to as "faggots."

For anyone who can't stand/use the UI:
A list of all the names, with the years in parenthesis. They're grouped by part (penis/testicles/vagina/clitoris/etc).
I just quickly made this from the JSON files Nelson posted above which has the source data for the timelines. I see there is a group called ",penis", so there might be some small glitches but mostly it should be fine.

bongo_x: "This UI hurts.

I've spent a lot of time with JS-based timelines, and he chose this one because it can handle more than 50 or 100 pieces of data (it could be SO MUCH MORE PAINFUL) unlike most other timelines of its class, and I think he was married to the idea of showing this on a timeline. The JS timelines that have better UX usually can't support more than 50 rows of data.
That said ... I found the words and timeframes fascinating, but I agree that an alternate presentation would have made this deeply awesome. And would have potentially highlighted the fact that there are so many more variations on penis with distinct sets of slang than for vagina.
My favorite slang term for vagina is omnibus which can be both very positive and very negative slang.

The penises also get progressively bigger over time, from pins and needles in the 1500s, to "nine-inch knocker" in 1696. Must have been all that testosterone generated by the 1651 Solar Flare.

What the Fuck Happened in 1890?
I think it was the publication of John S. Farmer's Slang and Its Analogues. He also includes the rather glorious "Divine monosyllable" for vagina.

I do not understand how "Jewish nightcap" is slang for a foreskin. Like at all.
It's listed under "foreskin/glans" which are lumped together for some reason.* Presumably, that entry only applies to the latter.
*HPV?

Jan 1, 1763: "Thirteen inches"
There's an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Peter Boyle refers to his penis as his foot, which is brilliant.

I can't help but feel the researcher has sadly neglected the clitoris.

So is it me, or is this actually missing "hot beef injection"?

I wonder how many times in history a monarch has redefined the official units of measure to make the length of his penis seem more impressive.

That's not slang. That's just...a description.

I wonder if, a century from now, people will be giggling over current society's oft-inaccurate use of "vagina."
