third leg

What tripods need

Third leg is a joking or boastful euphemism for a man's penis, implying impressive size: He walks like he's got a third leg.

The phrase plays on the image of something hanging between the legs that could function as an extra limb.

Less commonly, third leg describes any crucial third component that provides stability, from the third leg of a tripod to a third party in a coalition.
