Bald-headed hermit is crude slang for the penis, using descriptive metaphor — the 'bald head' refers to the glans, and 'hermit' plays on the idea of something reclusive that emerges only occasionally. Typically used in rude jokes, ribald humour, and vulgar comedy. The phrase dates back at least to the 20th century and sits squarely in the tradition of colourful English slang euphemisms for male anatomy.

The comedian's whole set was built around bawdy puns and references to the bald-headed hermit.
Origin: Descriptive metaphorical compound; 'bald-headed' references the appearance of the glans, 'hermit' implies seclusion and infrequent appearance. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
