As stated in a previous post, vulgarity is language specific, and too
often geared toward the English language. In a previous life, I had to
process an application for an Asian man named "Fuk Yu Kwak."
I have also been exposed to several varying languages and dialects
during my life. A Native American friend (Paiute to be specific)
introduced my family to a spicy cheese dip that he calls "Pookie." As
it turns out, the Filipino members of my extended family informed me
that the phonetic pronunciation of this harmless, tasty dip is Tagalog
slang for part of the female anatomy. How embarrassing to tell your
Filipino step-mother that you are "eating Pookie." :)
