| Comments: | "dick" is originally a euphemism too - "Ultimately from Dick, pet form of the name Richard. The name Dick came to mean "everyman", whence the word acquired its other meanings." (wiktionary) (though wiktionary also calls "dick" (with the meaning penis) "vulgar") I've seen ナニ in subtitles to represent quite vulgar words so I think "dick" works ok if it's the last gloss. |

| Comments: | I've noticed that ナニ (always in katakana) is frequently used in Japanese subtitles of English-language movies/TV shows with the meaning "penis". I asked a native speaker if this is really an established expression (when I first saw it) and they commented it's at least commonly used like this in subtitles. It's really a subsense of sense 2 but it seems common enough to get its own sense. "masturbation"/"to have sex" don't seem quite as common (and I haven't encountered the word used like that in the wild/in Jp subtitles either) I considered creating a separate kana-only entry for ナニ but it can be and is of course used with other senses of 何 too and I wouldn't want to direct users looking up the more innocuous use to the wrong entry. |

| Refs: | Paul Blay added it in 2007, quoting a Tanaka sentence set: http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/77004 which implies that ナニ is used for that. If no other reference carries it, I think it can be dropped. |

| Refs: | source for sense 3? daijs says "... また、事物・人などをぼかして さす語。" "whatsit;what's the expression;what do you call them" is not in daijs but common with rising intonation in mid- sentence, "その・・・なに？" |
