Now this is the problem, (disgusting yes I agree), but
is it penises or penie ?

Any experts in grammar/english/plurals here?


It can be either penises or penes.

Oh no, here we go, it can't. It is archaic, because the word has been

Not according to the Oxford English Dictionary from whence I got those
plurals.
