In describing the towers Peachy is right. However, the term "muffinhead" is usually used to describe a person and means "idiot." The term "priapal muffinhead" when describing a person would be an insult and we have a much simpler term for it. ;)
I'm sorry, it's the first thing that came to mind when I read your question. :D
What in the world are you reading?

It's a funny way to describe it!
Okay, you can get the image of a "muffinhead" by imagining the large top of a muffin.
"Priapal" means the tower looked like a penis. It's a reformation of the word "priapism".
