piemel

Dutch

Etymology

Cognate with German Pimmel (“penis”). The further origin is uncertain. Closely related to piemelen (“to pee, water”) alongside dialectal pingelen, German pinkeln. These are likely onomatopoeic, but can also be compared to pink (“pinkie, little finger”), Low German Pink (“penis”). A further connection is made with Low German pümpeln (“to thrust, bump”), to which belong German pimpern (“to fuck”), southern Pimperl (“penis”). Finally Dutch piel (“penis”), from a dialectal form of pijl (“arrow”), and German bummeln, baumeln (“to dangle”), pimmeln (“to hang out idly”)
