Is it really? Do you know any more if that story?
Not really both come from the Latin word testis meaning a witness.
It literally means a third person standing beside . i.e. an impartial observer the male gonands most likely got the name because they are a witness to virility or manhood. or because they side beside each other.
I think it's interesting how in older times such common phrases/words came from the personification of such things as a penis.
not a penis just balls ;) although I am pretty sure pencil has the same root as penis
Haha, alright then. They're spelling is strangely similar...
but not pen because that is the pen feather of a bird. in Latin penis means tail.
So men have a forward facing tail. I think I just gained a nickname for my member.
