Everyone calls it that, but is there a real name for it? That seems like it's just slang. Please show sources.

Wenis is a slang term for the skin on the elbow because someone thought it looked and felt like penis foreskin. The elbow joint in humans and primates is called the Synovial Hinge Joint. In Latin, it is the Cubitus (Most likely because the Cubit was an ancient measurement that used the distance from the elbow to the tip of the longest finger.)

This term is is derived from the word 'Wisen' which is an area near the funny bone. People then began commenting how the male genital 'Penis' has the same type of foreskin as the skin on your elbow.
Hence the term Wenis
The term Wenis/Weenus is false. The actual term is derived from the name Wisen. There is no bone/vein/area or such in the human body named as such. Wisen is the actual name, not weenus/wenis. It is slang.

No it's not and I know I'm late. I just wanted to clear this up for people who want to know. I've been studying to be a certified nurse and the skin on your elbow is called the Olecranon/Olecranal skin. People also say that the skin between your thumb and pointer is a cagina. It is your Purlicue. Middle schoolers/ elementary kids joke about this to sound sexual. Yes people did that when I was in elementary and middle school. Hope this helped people.

What Is A Wenis

No it is not. It is called skin. The bone itself is called the Olecranon which is the top portion of your Ulna (a bone in your forearm). Wenis/Wenus is just a slang term. I can tell you that none of my Anatomy and Physiology books has this term in it.

Olecranon is the right word. Wenis is slang for penis. This was so small kids could swear and not get into trouble.
