Close personal friends

According to the Butt Ugly Weblog, “orkut” — the name of the Google-affiliated artificial social network — is a slang term for “orgasm” in Finnish.

It turns out it’s named after its creator, Orkut Buyukkokten, whose parents were either cruel or not Finnish.

On the other hand, what isn’t a slang term for “orgasm”? I mean, even “Finnish” is, as in: “Didn’t you Finnish yet?”

(Thanks to Janne Jalkanen for pointing out the dirty Scandinavian words.)
