I just spilled my coffee; sorry for the trivial remark, but the name means 'pubic hairs' in Romanian. Apologies.. I thought it's better for you to know and ignore than not to (not quite a big population target for you, I imagine, anyway).
It is also similar to an old Norse name: Floki.
There was once a cloud conference in Brazil called ConaCloud. I'm guessing "cona" means something different in Brazilian Portuguese than it does in European Portuguese. In Portugal is a slang word for vagina.
As Coq (now Rcoq) found to their chagrin... I'm convinced half of the reason Lean has surpassed Coq in mindshare in formal mathematics was because it's impossible to not chuckle at the name sometimes.
schaamhaar.io was already taken
Risky copy-paste of the day.
Also means cum in greek https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/φλόκι
Do Greek people really say "Here comes the spunk!" when they're... you know?
Do English speakers say that?!
Hahahaha, have never personally heard that.
though not nearly as popular of an expression in that category as μαλάκας
One of the later pages mentions that the name came from "cirrocumulus floccus", the cloud formation.
In this case it is misspelled.
The Latin word is "flocci", which means hairs of wool, and it was also used to denote an insignificant thing.
English normally preserves the double consonants of Latin, and in this case it has already done this in the English words derived from "floccus", e.g. "to flocculate" and "flocculent".
In clouds, it was used due to the resemblance of those clouds with curly sheep wool.
You mean like Flikr, sonarr, tumblr, Waze…?
Also it means gays (not in a flattering way) in italian if you just change a letter.
you got here before me, had a good laugh tho.
