Gentlemen, calling your penis your wand is not cute, funny or attractive. Find a different term, and thank me for the advice later.

Professor!

[ DEAR GOD - ]

[plaide]

Miss Granger, there's hardly anything to be ashamed of. After you've heard the line a hundred times, it simply gets old.

I would not call those who think such is funny or attractive, 'gentlemen'.

[plaide]

We are agreed on that. However, I find there's no call for me to be rude about such a thing. I try not to stoop to levels I disapprove of. [ Or at least not when her students are watching. ]

How very honorable of you. Ms...?

Let's hope a few heed that advice

[plaide]

Mind you it has been a few years since I have heard that sort of comment, but I've seen my share of students enough to know that some things do not change.

[duplicities]

I have little hope it ever will, but reminding them of their foolishness sometimes produces results.

[child_radical]

...don't complain when you start hearing the more colorful terms.

[plaide]

Don't be surprised if the more colorful get you a good slap.

[child_radical]

I wasn't referring to myself going that route.

[intheblanks]

Teenagers?

[plaide]

They do insist on being predictable.

[intheblanks]

Go easy on them. It's the only time in your life it still does feel like magic.

[Lily sounds amused mostly because she is.]

Professor, you'll only provoke them to make up more names for their penises you know.

[plaide]

Lily Potter, I sincerely hope you wouldn't be making any up.

Professor McGonagall, whether I do or not, I'll assure you I'll keep my private life with James, private.

[boutant]

[ Must. Not. Snicker. ]

You know, Ginny told me no one actually does that.

[plaide]

Ginny has a good head on her shoulders. I've had more students in my office...

[ Sigh. ]

[alwaystreasured]

My instincts tell me that will help nothing.

[plaide]

No, of course not. Of course, not talking to your partner at all is just as hazardous.

[ Why? Why is she still talking as if she needs to give people tips? Why does she have to talk to Severus like this? Just...why? ]

[haring_to_go]

[ His Victorian sensibilities cannot handle this! ]

Well you can hardly call it by it's more crude terms in public, I assure you! Even though you just... did that.

[plaide]

Crude? Hardly. I'd rather be clinical than crass.

[firstaid]

Excuse my curiosity, but what would you consider to be a more proper term?

[Darn this curse for making her ask this!]

'Penis' is acceptable. Many of the slang terms are generally overused and cliche -- many like to use the words 'dick' and 'cock,' which I suppose are more accepted and less laughable. However, you reserve the right to veto anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
