middle leg

Insect's second appendage

Middle leg is a humorous or euphemistic term for the penis, playing on the image of a third leg hanging between the two actual legs.

The phrase appears in bawdy jokes and innuendo: He was proud of his middle leg.

In entomology, the middle leg is literally the second pair of legs on an insect's thorax.
