soutpiel, n. — Green’s Dictionary of Slang

soutpiel n.

[Afk. sout, salt + piel, penis; thus lit. ‘salt-dick’, because he has one foot in South Africa, one in England and his penis dangling in the ocean in between. Despite the date, as cited in DSAE, it must be assumed that the term is much older, but left unprinted through taboo; thus Namibian synon. sandpiele, in this case the penis rests on the burning sands of the Kalahari desert]

1. (S.Afr.) an Englishman, esp. one who has a notably colonialist mentality.
