"Horseradish" is a euphemism for "dick." Whatever translation tool he was using didn't pick up on it ;/

Yes, the horseradish here is a word that sounds similar to dick, and yet is inoffensive enough not to be tabooed. A similar kind of substitution in English would be heck instead of hell, or shoot instead of shit.
