phalli
Erect male symbols
Phalli is the plural of phallus—an erect penis or a representation of one, especially in art, archaeology, or religious contexts.
Ancient cultures often depicted phalli as symbols of fertility and masculine power: The museum's collection includes Roman phalli carved in stone.
The word sounds clinical or scholarly compared to cruder alternatives.
