stiffy

Involuntary male arousal

Stiffy is slang for an erection of the penis: He woke up with a stiffy.

The word is mildly vulgar but often used humorously, especially among younger speakers.

Less commonly, stiffy can mean a corpse—playing on the same root sense of rigid—though this use is rare outside dark comedy.
