Pronunciation

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Unclear; possibly an alteration of English diddle; compare the use of dildo2, like diddle, as an expressive nonsense syllable in often sexual songs. Compare the spelling dil doul, found in e.g. The Maids Complaint for want of a Dil Doul, a song in the library of Samuel Pepys. Unlikely to be related to Italian diletto (“delight”) or Latin dīlātō (“I open up, spread”), often cited etymologies.[1]

Noun

[edit]

dildo (plural dildos or dildoes)

  1. An artificial phallus (penis) for sexual use.
    • 1592/3, Thomas Nashe, The Choise of Valentines‎[1] (Poetry), published 1899, →OCLC, archived from the original on February 27, 2006‎[2]:
      Adieu! faint-hearted instrument of lust; / That falselie hath betrayde our equale trust. / Hence-forth no more will I implore thine ayde, / Or thee, or man of cowardize upbrayde. / My little dilldo shall suply their kinde: / A knaue, that moues as light as leaues by winde; / That bendeth not, nor fouldeth anie deale, / But stands as stiff as he were made of steele; / And playes at peacock twixt my leggs right blythe, / And doeth my tickling swage with manie a sighe. / For, by saint Runnion! he'le refresh me well; / And neuer make my tender bellie swell.
    • 1866, “Don Leon”, in Don Leon ; A Poem by the Late Lord Byron, Author of Childe Harold, Don Juan, &c., &c. and forming part of the private journal of His Lordship, supposed to have been entirely destoyed by Thos. Moore. To which is added Leon to Annabella; An epistle from Lord Byron to Lady Byron.‎[3] (Poetry), →OCLC, pages 44, 51–52:
      "There, as my lord, with achromatic glass, / "O'erlooks St. James's Park, and on the grass, / "Beneath his mansion's half-closed window spies / "Two crouching urchins' gross obscenities, / "He turns his eager gaze, adjusts the screw, / "And brings their unwashed nudities in view. / "That spot, concealed by two o'er hanging hills, / "Foul sweat and fœtid excrement distils, / "Yet frowsy, there the pipe-clayed soldier sports, / "And bishops hold episcopalian courts. / "'Tis there the Bath empiric's finger guides, / "The oiled bougie ; and as the dildo slides / "Besmeared, to meet last night's descending meal, / "Oft makes the strictures he pretends to heal.
      Whoever has visited Bath must have heard of a surgeon, by the name of Hicks, who pretends to cure strictures in the rectum by the insertion of bougies of enormous dimensions up the anus in male and female patients. The morning meetings of ten or a dozen persons of both sexes, all waiting to undergo the same mode of cure (for he never fails to discover stricture or tendency to stricture, in all those persons who consult him), must be ludicrous and somewhat obscene. Why does he not follow the plan of Enothea, a harlot spoken of by Petronius? "Profert Enothea scorteum fascinum, quod, ut oleo et minuto pipere atque urticæ trito circumdedit semine, paulatim cœpit insere ano meo." It may not be amiss to observe that the fascinum (Gallice godmiché, Anglice dildo) was a substitute for the human penis, known to the ancients as well as to the moderns.
  2. (derogatory) An idiot, a bore.
    • 1984, Alex Cox, Repo Man, spoken by Otto Maddox (Emilio Estevez):
      I take back cars from dildos who don't pay their bills. Cool huh?
    • 1991 September, Stephen Fry, chapter 1, in The Liar, London: Heinemann, →ISBN, →OCLC, section I, page 15:
      ‘Thompson?’ Heydon-Bayley had shrieked. ‘But he’s a complete dildo, surely?’ ¶ ‘I like him,’ said Adrian, ‘he’s unusual.’ ¶ ‘Graceless, you mean. Wooden.’
  3. (derogatory, vulgar, slang) Any device or implement.
    • 2019, Justin Blackburn, The Bisexual Christian Suburban Failure Enlightening Bipolar Blues, page 43:
      Call ghost hunters? Those fuckers will show up with gas powered dildos and burn the woods down.
  4. A columnar cactus of the West Indies (Pilosocereus royenii).
    • 1910, Forrest Shreve, “The coastal deserts of Jamaica”, in The Plant World: An Illustrated Monthly Journal of Popular Botany, volume 13, pages 129–130:
      The commonest and most conspicuous of the cacti is the "dildoe" (Cereus Swartzii), a columnar form growing to as much as 20 feet in height, a plant the gross physiology of which is probably very similar to that of the sahuaro (Camegiea gigantea).

Verb

[edit]

dildo (third-person singular simple present dildoes, present participle dildoing, simple past and past participle dildoed)

  1. (transitive) To penetrate with a dildo or with another object as if it were a dildo.
    • 1681, Homer Alamode, the Second Part in English Burlesque, or, Mock Poem upon the Ninth Book of the Iliads‎[4], page 48:
      And Venus (one that so much known is) / Is Dildo’d by Cauda Draconis.
    • 2010, Reggie Chesterfield, Goody Goes Bad!, page 40:
      A muscular female prison guard was dildoing a petite brunette with a night stick.

Etymology 2

[edit]

Related to other nonsense syllables like dido and diddle(-diddle), which similarly developed sexual senses. Found since at least the 1500s, often in contexts where allusion is being made to the sexual sense (above).[2] Possibly influenced by Middle English dildoun (“darling, pet”), early modern English dildin (“sweetheart”); compare Old Norse dilla (“to lull”), dillindo (“lullaby”).[1]
