Sorry Spiderpig mea culpa

¿Tan culpable soy que hasta meo culpa? ¡Vaya por Dios!

well imperfects of latin verbs mostly contain ".....iebam" and that sounds extremely funny to some Slavic speakers. hence the incapability of Croatian kids to say "audiebam" without bursting into laughter, since "jebati" means to copulate in Croatian. (not sure how to render it more politely)

Reminds me of the reaction of certain kids to the 3rd person singular present tense form of the Latin verb facere, ie facit.

f**k it loool

Dutch pik vs English pick, pronounced the same way but in Dutch it is a somewhat vulgar word for penis.
Dutch kut vs English cut. The Dutch word is a vulgar word for vagina, probably cognate to an English word that would not pass the censor-filter here anyway but people know what I mean. I think the word is a bit less offensive than the English cognate. Very offensive when used towards people but much less offensive when used as a general swear word, then it is more like "Damn it!" or something similar.

there's at least one famous israeli with this last name. three if you count his daughters. don't know the origin of it but, i'm not sure if hebrew.



or, פיק, pik is just one way to transliterate it, among pick.



Ofakim! (O-FAkim!)

Wasn't there a South African government minister under the old Apartheid regime called Pik Botha?

I saw he has songs in Yiddish, maybe it is a name of German origin? Is it pronounced pik or more like peek? I know there are German and Dutch family names like Pieck which is pronounced as Peek more or less. I really need to memorize that IPA stuff sometime.
The Dutch word piek[i/] means peak, like the things on top of a Christmas tree. There is also the verb [i]pikken (1st person singular pik) that means to peck, or to steal.
I was just looking on wikipedia and I saw that Wilhelm Pieck, president of East Germany was also originally from Poland. Anton Pieck is a Dutch painter.

I remember when I learned that word at school. Most of the students found the form very funny. But the teacher had already made experiences with other students about it and said: "I know you'll find that kind of funny, but it's just a word like all the others."

Latin sciō (‘[​I] know’) and Spanish esquío (‘[I] ski’).

Guess how an Espanish-espeaking teacher is most likely to pronounce the Latin verb and you’ll understand how hard it is not to think of skiing the whole time

I just looked it up on wikipedia and Pik was a nickname. I'm also not sure whether pik means the same in Afrikaans, the language is fairly different from Dutch.

yes, it's pronounced like 'peek'. ['pik] and his first name (birth name?) is Henrik so yeah, it's likely Germanic.

Portuguese nomear (‘to name’) and Spanish no mear (‘not to piss’).

spanish constiparse meaning "to catch a cold"...in english, no explanation needed. in spanish, someone who is constipated is instead estreñido.

spanish real - "royal" vs english real.

Spanish real can also mean 'real'; there are two homonyms.
