Mivonks was slang in the Uncharted Territories that refers to male genitalia, specifically the testicles (or their equivalent), most often used in a derogatory sense.

John Crichton first encountered the term when Aeryn Sun told him that Matala "was leading D'Argo around by his mivonks" and that she felt that Matala was having a similar effect on Crichton. ("Back and Back and Back to the Future")

When discussing Crichton's refusal to take NamTar's deal, Zhaan and D'Argo noted that "NamTar's knowledge had extended to Crichton's pathetic home world, you can wager that he would have offered up his own mivonks, useless as they are." ("DNA Mad Scientist")

As Rygel XVI told Crichton that he was magra-fahrbot and Crichton said that he'd succeeded in masquerading as a Peacekeeper previously, Chiana pointed out that he only did it "by the skin of [his] mivonks." ("Nerve")

After capturing Bialar Crais and imprisoning him on board Moya, Rygel told the others "If you had seen Crais aboard his own ship, you'd know it was no act. This Scorpius character is carrying Crais' mivonks in his hip pocket." ("Family Ties")

While Crichton, Aeryn, and Zhaan were trying to stop Chiana from killing herself, Rygel told D'Argo "Curse my mivonks! I know what you're up to and it's not going to work," believing that D'Argo was cursing everything that Rygel owned. ("Taking the Stone")

After D'Argo attacked him. B'Sogg told him "You've got mivonks, Luxan," before pointing out that if D'Argo killed him, then Zhaan would die without the meat she needed. ("Home on the Remains")

While the crew of Moya was on trial by the Plokavians, Zhaan's tale of what happened included a comment by Aeryn that "D'Argo is thinking with his mivonks again." ("The Ugly Truth")

While Moya was still entwined and attached to cables from a commerce station near the Twin Suns of Qell, a drunk D'Argo ranted to Crichton before going outside of Moya stating, "Oh and by the way, would you mind putting your hands against the wall and spreading your legs so I can kick you up the mivonks?" ("Suns and Lovers")

When the crew of Moya was dealing with scavengers and trying to help Talyn and Crais, Aeryn told Rygel, "If you try anything when I am gone - whatever you have in the place of mivonks and wherever they are - they will be gone. When I get back." ("Eat Me")

When Crais and Talyn were suck inside a Budong, Rygel muttered "kiss my mivonks" to himself upon discovering the news. ("Green Eyed Monster")

When Xhalax Sun and three Colartas were tracking Talyn, she told them to "frell the gravity! Cinch up your mivonks and keep moving!" ("Relativity")

D'Argo's reaction to the planet LoMo was simply to say "pleasure planet my mivonks." ("Scratch 'N' Sniff")
