Phallusy

Phallusy: noun. To commit a phallusy (sometimes also spelt phallacy, phallucy or phallicy) means to mistake something for a penis when it is, in reality, something completely different. Phallusies are relatively common while stargazing, talking to friends, looking at clouds or visiting restaurants. Objects prone to being the subjects of phallucies include bread rolls, sausages, Bibles and artichokes (for visual as well as linguistic reasons). One of the strangest examples of a phallusy is James Lacan's essay on why men have phalli while women are phalli.
