Those tallywhackers yonder must've done so, not to be hanging on the bell ropes now. "

Norman Rush's Mating, pg 23, in section "One Can never have Too Much" of first chapter "Guilty Repose," has this sentence: "The cleaners and porters, not kids but mature black men, had to wear juvenilizing white outfits like sailorsuits—shorts, and jumpers with tallywhackers." Though tallywhackers are supposedly penises, it doesn't seem right that a sailorsuit should have a penis. Is this a clue that American narrator is not as adept with languages as she claims to be? Or is there another definition for "tallywhacker" that works with "jumpers," which are probably sweaters?
