Besides, if we called them "hand-things", people might get the WRONG idea about what activity they're used for... Unless you go in for that kind of thing... /me shudders...

I might be able to see some under-endowed fellow using a regular mouse (read: one with a ball) for self pleasure...

No. Way. In. Hell.
