Ahahahah! True. Interestingly, the cooked / prepared fish has a completely different Sino-Korean word. (Like the difference between "pig" and "pork" in English)

I've always called them sleeping policemen and I'm British English...

The term 'whisky' derives originally from the Gaelic 'uisge beatha', or 'usquebaugh', meaning 'water of life'. Gaelic is the branch of Celtic spoken in the Highlands of Scotland.

Same in Dutch

Well it's true at least

You can say it in German too. It’s either Kartoffel or Erdapfel

In Irish, it's written "claoaoaoghdghhn nibhmhaoagdh". :D

If you literally translate "pineapple" in French it become "pomme de pin", which translated back in English means "pine cone".

In Croatian we call him either Christmas Grandpa or Frost Grandpa.

In Polish it's Gwiazdka or Gwiazdor, which is either a little star or a masculine star.... the name derives from the star of Bethlehem. Polish traditions are quite interesting. For example: we/they celebrate christmas on the 24th. The feast starts at around 5pm when the first star can be seen in the sky and it consists of exactly 12 dishes. There is no meat but lots of superstitions

In Hebrew he's not called anything, for obvious reasons...

Swedish; christmas gnome 😅

I can see why German isn't the international language of romance! Nipple isn't much better, though, to be honest!

Hungarian: Arra ne varrjál gombot. (Don't sew a button on that.)

Same in Dutch (sinaasappel or appelsien) and from Dutch (as far as I know) it was borrowed into many languages, including Russian.

Hungarian has it better: house of sickness!!!
