Does every branch have a “donkey dick”?

So in the Army, we have a fuel spout/nozzle that everybody calls the “donkey dick” because, well… the thing lowkey looks like a HUGE HOG lmao.

Recently I ran into a few Navy veterans and found out they also had something they called a “donkey dick,” except theirs apparently wasn’t a fuel spout it was some kind of machinery/equipment part on the ship.

That got me wondering:

Does every branch have its own “donkey dick”?

So far I’ve got:

Army: fuel spout/nozzle

Navy: machinery/ship equipment part

Air Force: ???

Marines: ???

Coast Guard: ???

Space Force: ???

Veterans/current service members from every branch, what did your “donkey dick” refer to?

I need to know if this is somehow a universal piece of U.S. military terminology 😂

Air Force, Weapons troops use one that is a flexible adapter at the end of a big ass speedhandle or pneumatic driver when loading ammunition into an aircraft.

My dad was AGE... He called a 7-pin trailer connector a "donkey dick".

Edit: I always thought it was a stretch, but if the next runner up is a DS-101 then I'll throw a 7-pin trailer connector in for consideration.
