In the UK, when they say "pecker" they mean "nose"... just one of many entertaining potential US-UK misunderstandings (do not tell the clerk in the Men's Clothing Department that you want to buy your husband a pair of suspenders; do not ask your boyfriend/husband to check your pants for your keys; and do not refer to that little pack on a waistband as a fanny-pack, unless you wish to be the subject of considerable merriment).

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mr Sooz – hope you found the above entertaining...
