Well, Ficken Me!

From Oxford University Press, the world's largest university press (motto: "Excellence, Tradition, and Innovation") a few words about the dildo:

I began investigating the origin of dildo, because I happen to know the Russian word dylda “lanky youth,” a noun that is somewhat humorous, but not obscene.

And by the end, he's robbed the word of its humor, too, which, I know, is hard to believe. I mean, "dildo," [tee hee] like "poot," [giggle] is just inherently funny. But, trust me, after reading that, you won't be laughing.
