In Solo a common ironic term for a big, heavy keris is "linggis" --- a spud bar (crow bar, post hole bar).

Thats great, I love that word play. I still wonder if a my keris qualifies as a corok, although my understanding of the keris is limited to a few books and the perusal of a few museum collections, mostly eclectic and happenstance. And of course what I have been lucky enough to learn here.

gets worse.

lingus (latin) is a tongue/licking, as in i'm a cunning linguist.

lingam is a SEA (hindu) religious depiction of a male generative organ. the pesi can also be described as the lingham that penetrates the (female) ganja.

lingus is slang for a long skinny male organ (urban dictionary)...the opposite
of a chode, a short fat one.
