Hampton

This is rhyming slang for prick (penis), from Hampton Wick/prick and dates from the late 19th century. Hampton Wick is a place name in the Greater London area. It can be used figuratively (derogatively of course) as in describing someone as a right Hampton or it can be used literally to refer to 'the Hampton', as part of the male anatomy. This is most unfortunate for male inhabitants of the town of Littlehampton in Sussex.
