Are men supposed to announce an orgasm? Usually rolling over and falling asleep gets the point across for me. 😃 ---

A variation on _iku_ is _i’chau_, usually said by women. The _~chau_ ending means “to have done [something].” It’s a bit childish-sounding and it’s sometimes used in a way that conveys a feeling of “by accident,” “not by choice,” “without volition.” So basically, it means that she’s going to have an orgasm, it’s happening to her, and she has no control over it. It’s kind of like saying “Ooh, you’re gonna make me come.” Bonus vocabulary: _etchi-suru_ - to do the nasty, get sexy, do [something] sexy _irete_ - put [it] in _bisho-bisho_ - soaking wet, sopping, dripping _yaru_ - to do [it/her/him], nail, bang, fuck (as seen in Kill Bill v.2 when Gogo asks the guy in the bar, _“atashi ni yaritai no”_ - “do you want to fuck me?”) My personal favorite word for penis is _dankon_ (lit: man root), but any woman I used that with in a serious way would probably collapse giggling because it sounds like something from a bad romance. That’s probably why I like it 😃 ---

> [@aktep](#): > > IIRC, the phrase in Russian translates as “I’m finishing” and the verb carries such a strong sexual connotation that other forms of the verb for “to finish” must be used when you’re not talking about orgasms. Exact same story in Hebrew (which is not surprising, considering the amount of slang – sometimes _not_ even translated! – that we’ve borrowed from Russian) ---

In Spanish it’s _me vengo_ (well, _me voy a venir_, “I’m going to come”). The verb in its unconjugated form is _venirse_. The “se” (which becomes the “me” in front when you’re talking about yourself) refers that it’s an action that you’re basically doing directly to yourself (and sometimes indirectly to someone else). _Venir_ means “to come” in the classical, non-raunchy sense; _Voy a venir a tu casa_ means “I’m going to come to your house”, but _Me voy a venir en tu casa_ means “I’m going to come [raunchy sense] in your house”. > [@Colibri](#): > > My favorite listing, though, is pleurer le cyclope (“to make the Cyclops cry”). Interesting…once when we weren’t going to have any kind of sexual activity, my last GF (with whom I spoke Spanish exclusively) gave Willy a little fondling anyway and when the pre-cum came out she asked, “¿Por que llora?” (“Why is it crying?”) To which I responded, of course: “Porque no lo besaste” (“Because you didn’t give it a kiss”). > [@gitfiddle](#): > > Is that true? No, “sah-kee” is the Japanese word for “gullible”. ---

Since we prefer that old threads in GQ only be bumped to add new factual information, I’m closing this. > [@DSYoungEsq](#): > > But do ZOMBIES say something different?? > [@Terminus\_Est](#): > > brains! I would also personally appreciate it if people didn’t post zombie jokes when an old thread is bumped. Since it does not inform the new poster of the policy it serves absolutely no useful purpose. All it does is make an ancient and by now exceedingly tedious in-joke. If you see a zombie thread, please report it without comment. This is not a mod instruction, but I beg you to refrain.
