a dog shaped like an erect phallus

dog. (penis) A human penis.

This usage is quite old, according to J.E. Lighter, going back to at least 1600. He quotes Wardroper's Love & Drollery: “Will you buy a fine dog with a hole in its head?/With a dildo, with a dildo....”reference 1 Can't say that I have heard it that much. But then, I have found that to be true of many of these terms. It appears in such references to male masturbation as “beat [or flog] the dog” Similar though it may sound, this phrase is distinctly different in meaning than “kick the dog.”

The full set includes “Shake,” the one eyed snake, “Spank,” the monkey, and “Choke,” the chicken, reminding us that many different animals are used in references to this portion of the human male anatomy.
