Jerusalem pony
A humorous old-fashioned slang term for a donkey.
Definitions
A humorous old-fashioned slang term for a donkey. The 'Jerusalem' part references the biblical association of donkeys with the Holy Land — Jesus famously rode a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, so the animal became culturally linked with that city. Calling a donkey a 'Jerusalem pony' is a witty, slightly irreverent way of poking fun at the animal's smaller size and stubborn reputation compared to a real pony. Definitely a term with more historical charm than modern utility.
The old farmer refused to call it a donkey — he always introduced it proudly as his Jerusalem pony.

Donkey cock is crude, hyperbolically vulgar slang for an exceptionally large penis, invoking the animal's reputation for outsized anatomy as a comparison point. It's used more for comedic exaggeration or shock value than genuine description, and you're more likely to encounter it in ribald jokes, locker-room talk, or explicit creative writing than polite conversation. The term has been around long enough to have crossed into meme culture and adult humor contexts where size-based hyperbole is a reliable punchline.

A humorous, rhyming slang term for the penis. Primarily used in crude jokes and comedic contexts rather than as a genuine descriptor. The term is part of a long tradition of playful, food-based or animal-based euphemisms for male genitalia in American and British English. The rhyming quality makes it feel more like a punchline than a slur, giving it a lighter register than many comparable vulgar terms. Most at home in lowbrow comedy.
