Voël is a South African slang term — literally the Afrikaans word for 'bird' — used as crude slang for a penis. It follows the classic pattern of innocuous everyday words being quietly conscripted into rude slang, making it funnier in context precisely because the original word is so harmless. Common in South African casual speech and comedy.

He walked out of the change room and everyone started howling about his voël.
