Scientists have discovered a remote tribe in the Brazilian rainforest who have no word to describe the male genitalia. The Dingaling tribe were only discovered in the 1970s and Brazilian linguists have been living amongst them for the last few years to decipher their language before the modern world corrupts their culture and they learn to speak using hip hop slang.
One fascinating feature of the Dingaling tribe is that they have no word for the penis. They have three words for vagina, four words for the anus, and seventy-three words to describe different regions of the perineum. But there is no word for penis.
This gives the language a charming coy appeal, as when they need to refer to the male genitalia, they will use words such as "it", "thing" and "what-do-you-call-it".
Unfortunately, the tribe also has a very primitive counting system which contains only two numbers - zero and pi. This leads to the very confusing conclusion that all men have 3.14159 "things", and also that when you bend it into a circular shape, its length will equal its girth.
