Okay, this is just getting to be too fun a.. genre? exercise? something.

a founders quartet: Salazar's scrotum, Helga’s hymen, Godric's gonads, Rowena's rocket socket (omg... *ded*. thanks [livejournal.com profile] blpaintchart for these.)
Circe's tits
Nimue's nipples
Merlin's merkin
Faust's bollocks

What else have you seen?

Used as phrases, I mean. If you've seen any of these, I don't know if I really want to hear about it.
