phallic symbol

When an innocuous object is shaped like a penis or makes a blatant reference to the male genitalia. Common examples include bananas, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, eggplants, makizushi, popsicles and hot dogs, especially since some of these items can produce suggestive fluids.

For objects that resemble or gestures that reference female genitalia, see yonic symbol.
