The 7th grader came home tonight giggling that she could see everyone's weenus. Supposedly, according to the junior high set, the skin of your elbow is called the weenus.
I can't find weenus in the dictionary in any spelling that I can think of. Does anyone else know this word?

There were several jokes on Friends about the acronym WENUS. It was used at Chandler's workplace and stood for "weekly estimated net usage statistics."
That's the only time I've heard the word. I wonder if the middle school crowd took it and gave it a new definition. So they could have their own word that the adults don't know about, and it of course has to be something that sounds dirty but isn't. He he.

A Google search on "Wenus" brings up astronomy sites in a foreign language that might be Russian. Apparently it's that language's translation of the planet Venus.
However, a search of Weenus shows it to be a band from south Boston, and a bunch of sites in which people use it to mean elbow skin.

Yes, I've heard this word before. Maybe it's just popular with school-aged kids of today? (I just graduated high school this past summer.)

My immediate thought if I came across a number of Polish web sites would be that the language on them is Polish.

Echoing Floater, the language used is indeed Polish. The extention "pl" is for Poland. Russia's extention is "ru".

I did not *know* they were Polish websites, or else I would have said the language was Polish.

Didn't the .pl in the addresses give you a hint?

No, it didn't. I bow to your superior perception.

THis reminds me of the rumor I heard in middle school that "dude" actually means (pick one): camel butt elephant butt something involving an animal's penis, but I forget what.

I don't see why it's funny to make up a word and then giggle about it. Why can't they stick with the time-tested "your epidermis is showing"?

Sounds like a runoff of the mythology behind "dork". According to legend, a "dork" could or could not be a whale's penis. For every website I looked at that said it was, there was another site that said it wasn't.

Reminds me of these jokes from 5th grade (uh... 1979ish?):
How big is your yard? Does your yard have grass on it? ... was code for how big is your penis and does it have hair on it.
Are you smart? How many months? ... was code for are you pregnant, how many months?
The fun thing to do was ask this of unsuspecting people and get them to admit they had a big penis with hair on it or were something like 10 years pregnant.

A camel's testicle was the version I heard.

Urbandictionary has several definitions of weenus as loose skin on your elbow. The earliest definition was in 2003 so it's probably been in english usage for a while now.

Well, I hate to admit it but I find the word Weenus very funny! My SNL,neices and I are very fond of that word...I get cracked up every time the oldest (17) says things like "do do have any lotin, my weenus is dry". I tried searching weenus and got only 3 medical type hits.

I can understand the 10 years pregnant thing being funny, but unless you were asking only girls, who would be ashamed to have just admitted that they had a big penis with hair on it?

The same idiocy was rife in the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid-1960s.
bike => penis happy => pregnant to eat pork => to commit fellatio
When some air-head fished me in, I had an answer for him:
I would ask chuckle-head a simple problem in addition (such as "What is 4+3?").
When he answered, I would kick him in the shin as hard as I could, and explain that the answer he gave meant "kick me in the shin as hard as you can."
After a short time, the numbskulls ceased to annoy me.

And exactly why would 200 000 polish web pages consist of Russian texts translitterated into a Latin alphabet?

Case in point: When I was in 6th grade (about '92) some asshat kid walks up to me and asks me to spell AIDS. I thought he was just being stupid so I wrote down what it stood for. He busts out laughing and asks if I'm positive. I said "sure". He was rolling on the floor laughing, while I just sat there dumbfounded. Then the little shit went around telling everyone that I was "Positive", as in HIV+.

It's not Russian, "Venus" in Russian is "Venera". It looks Polish to me - they use Latin characters, not Cyrillic. Just my 2 cents.
