wedding tackle

wedding tackle
n
British
the male genitals. A humorous phrase which is an elaboration of the earlier 'tackle', heard in this context since the 18th century. Wedding tackle is a euphemism which is considered inof-fensive enough to be broadcast and printed, as well as used in conversa-tional contexts. It was popular during the 1980s but probably dates from much earlier. (Partridge dates the syno-nym 'wedding kit' to 1918.)
