Size Does Matter. This could theoretically go the other way, but honestly I can't see that happening.
and a box hereAn obscure tagline about a film the vast majority of people who have even heard of it actually think of when it comes to the character? Not likely to be what people think of when they see Size Does Matter.
A reference to the importance of the size of one's sexual organs? The first thing the infinite majority will think of, really can't see why that's even a question.
Would you kill your best friend, can you save yourself?All right, all right. There should be a "Not to be confused with blah" at the end of the article, at least.
No objections to that.
Would you kill your best friend, can you save yourself?Well, the godzilla movie was using it as a dick joke to advertise their movie, so I think it's pretty evident that the meaning will be clear to most.
I saw the suggestion Epic Phallus show up. It's certainly funnier than the current one.
Seriously, what's so funny about the name Biggus Dickus?
People who derive humor from Canis Latinicus, evidently. While personally I don't find it particularly funny, I certainly don't find it confusing at all.
Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)Although Size Does Matter should be clear that it's talking about male genitalia, wouldn't that possibly attract some misuse for any other situation where the size of something really does matter? BFG, BFS, Your Size May Vary, etc etc.

I do believe that Life of Brian is the Trope Namer here, or History of the World; I forget which.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Or we could just be upfront about it and call it Giant Cock. Not that I think it needs to be renamed.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick^ But people will think it's about chickens. And that doesn't resolve the second issue.
Honestly, no one is going to think Biggus Dickus is about a character from a movie when there's a much more obvious thing it could be about. Even if they're intimately familiar with Life Of Brian, why would they think the trope is about the character? Is there any evidence of this?
For reference: This Index Is Not an Example. It really doesn't matter whether the Trope Namer is an example of the trope.
As to Some Guy's point, that's a more compelling argument for a rename, but I don't think there's any confusion right now. In our culture, what Biggus Dickus leads to is implied.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.Hung Like A Horse, since that is a Real Life term.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Definitely NOT Hung Like A Horse - that's just inviting people to misuse it. The trope is "Big dicks == better sex", not "Big dicks, period".
BTW, I'm a chick.Then almost none of the suggested names work, as they only indicate the first part.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Big Cocks Rock. I feel dirty now.
Fight smart, not fair.That is putting it bluntly....
Personally, I am no fan of the slang term "cock".

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.That gives no indication that it's related to having a big penis.
Fight smart, not fair.I'm all for Size Does Matter.
Oh, if you want it to be possessive it's just 'its,' but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T apostrophe S! ...scalawag.Bigger Is Better in Bed is good.
Should we also have a trope for simply large penises (without them being necessarily better for sex)?
Crown Description:
Size Does Matter is good. Or Truly Magnifisant Wang or something else completely random that I'm too tired to think up.
Fight smart, not fair.
