I don't see this term in anatomy books. Looks like a hoax to me. mikka (t) 22:49, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It's contemporary usage, check Urban Dictionary's definition. Transwiki to wiktionary. Ambush Commander 22:53, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Urban Dictionary is, to put it simply, pretty much no authority at all when it comes to how a word is defined. This definition is a prime example of UrbanDictionary codswallop. This is not the meaning of that word at all. (The only evidence that it is, is UrbanDictionary and people quoting UrbanDictionary. No-one actually uses it in this way. This is still a protologism.) No transwiki. Redirect to Unas because [http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/unas.htm it is an alternative spelling] of the name of that Pharaoh. Uncle G 23:14, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
.Transwiki, let them take a look. It does seem to get a lot of use, judging from google results. Kappa 23:05, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)- Delete slang dicdef. JamesBurns 06:29, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Actually the wenis is quite famous and the source of many jokes. It's a part of the anatomy, anyway, seems like we should have an article on any part of the anatomy. Everyking 01:30, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Prove it. I didn't find anything other than direct and indirect references to UrbanDictionary. (The jokes were, as indeed they were here on an earlier version of this page, because of the obvious rhyme, and nothing to do with elbows.) Please cite your anatomical reference.

- Um, I don't have a reference, but I have heard "wenis" jokes before. Everyking 01:49, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I'd rather conjecture the "reverse etymology": weenie + penis + Venus -> weenus, wenis, and only after that a suitable anatomic part was attached to the word. In some surgical pages I've seen elbow skin is called just thusly: Elbow skin : A 5-cm transverse incision is made 2 cm distal to the elbow skin crease. Also, there is Elbow Skin; tell them it is wenis. mikka (t)
- Well, I'm not voting keep, I'm just pointing out that it is more than a internet inside joke. Everyking 02:37, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think it should be moved to the Wiktionary, because what more can you add to this?
