Etymology

In the sense of penis and as a pejorative it is first attested around 1700. Originally used to refer to a certain type of bottle (pijpkan) used to feed infants and the infirm, it is first attested in 1642; this sense had been rendered obsolete by the 18th century. Earlier etymology is uncertain; possibly it is an onomatopoeia of the sound made when drinking from such a bottle, or it may be derived from lullepijpe, referring to a type of bagpipes. Perhaps compare German anlullen (“to leave saliva on something, e.g. when drinking from a bottle or drawing from a cigarette”).
