Apart from it not being as good as the Czech word for the same which is 'prt' and as onomatopoeic as can be.
I'm almost certain that in Croatian, "prt" means "ham" (don't have my dictionary handy, so I can't check). I guess those two languages aren't as alike as I thought.

Whereas, there is practically no realistic circumstance in which one might confuse "come" in the sense of "arrive" and "come" meaning "experience orgasm"
I have an anecdote (which took place this morning) to refute this claim.

.rM nattarGcM -- what is the usage distinction between 'Croat' and 'Croatian'? Is the first only a noun referring to a citizen of Croatia, the second either the language or an adjective?
I'm going to make a guess answer and say "Croat" is ethnic, "Croatian" is a nationality. Like the distinction between being American (Indian) and American (citizen of the US).
Took a weekend trip up to the lake house; wife was undecided as to whether to make the trip or stay home. Also, had been several days since last occasion of intimacy.
Immediately after morning sex, wife looks at me and says, "I'm really glad I came."
>Citing Section 2 (a) of the Trademark Act, Carlson’s application to register the phrase “You cum like a girl” had been refused on the grounds of being “scandalous” and “vulgar,” with the phrase’s offending verb defined as a “vulgar slang term for ejaculation at the time of orgasm.” Shanahan provided examples of similar rejections and explained why other attempts to register phrases with “cum” passed muster and Carlson’s didn’t. He also suggested why the word “orgasm” might make a suitable PG-13 replacement. Shanahan did include one small conciliatory detail in the haze of constrained legalese: an expression of discomfort at having to send an avalanche of visual aids — unearthed by way of a Google search — to “illustrate the predominant connotation of the term ‘cum.’”
The Trademark office sent the porn to the comedian to as evidance of the normal meaning of the word "cum". This is a reasonable thing to do, especially when smartasses will try to get these things allowed by arguing that, for example, 'in Latin, “cum” also means “together with, plus.'
"And I dunno, admittedly the guys I've slept with weren't sex toy guy, but I seem to have heard a lot of men say that women's orgasms seem more intense than your average guy orgasm, and they're a little jealous"
If that's the case (that men are at a biological disadvantage orgasmically), then why aren't women the ones taking the active role during sex to help compensate for it? Why are men still expected to do all of the work if women inherently get off so much better? I'm serious. Most women are completely passive in bed. They just lie there, legs spread, expecting to be pleasured. Men are told to ignore their own pleasure and focus only on their partner's, otherwise they're "selfish." (Women, of course, can never be selfish.) A guy is supposed to do everything in his power to get her off. If she doesn't cum, it's his fault. If he doesn't enjoy himself, that's his fault too.
The bullshit that women get away with is astounding.

re: 65
In czech ham is 'sunka' I think -- for the sort of sliced ham you put in a sandwich. Pork is 'veprovy'. Pork neck is 'krk'.
Pig is 'prase' though. Which is close to whatever the Croatian equivalent is.

I dimly remember the Dobre Shunka banners in Three Rivers.

I think Croat refers to a Croatian person. I've never heard "Croat" as an adjective, only as a noun.
Kind of like "Scot". Or "Chinee".

Dagger aleph is the Croat, not me. She'd know.

Huh. Thot she was Canajin.

A little more research shows that "Dobre Shunka" was attributed to Pittsburgh's Slovak population.

Er, uh, I mean "a Canuck."

re: 78
Yeah, and means 'good ham'. Which I see that wikipedia entry already says.

ITYM "a Canucklehead".

Yeah, a "Croat" is a person, though neither I nor anyone I know ever uses that word. I only see it written.
"Pig" is "prase". According to my dictionary, the word "prt" doesn't exist in Croatian, but I don't believe it. Now I have to email my cousin.
