Found this amusing anecdote on the web:
“When I was a 16-year-old going to Hungary as an exchange student, I remember trying to explain the concept of Oreo cookies to my 12-year-old host sister, who had only a rudimentary command of spoken English. I must have used the word ‘cookie’ about a dozen times, and she kept giggling. I thought she was just nervous.
It turns out that ‘kuki’ in Hungarian – pronounced the same as “cookie” – is slang for penis.”
Japanese Drip coffee very easy! quick!
