Do Phallic shaped Ukirans have any traditional background?

On a far lower plane of discussion, I was struck by the use of "bird" as a euphemism for the male generative organ, insofar as it is also prevalent in English (or perhaps I should specify "American"?)

I regret the derailment; still, tangential thinking can expose unexpected connections at times.

" Bird" is the same in North Italian too...while is the South of Italy it is " fish".

If I am not mistaken there was a writer or thinker who was saying that is difficult to talk of a united country if half of it calls it Bird while the other half calls it Fish.

Then we have Flying Fish --- Exocoetidae.

Maybe fish are birds & birds are fish.
