hardon

Penile blood engorgement

A hardon is an erect penis.

The term is vulgar slang, slightly cruder than erection: He woke up with a hardon.

Figuratively, to have a hardon for something or someone is to be obsessively focused on or hostile toward them: The DA has a hardon for putting him away.
