if we see this name in Hungary, here the meaning is: 'treasured', 'esteemed', 'revered' (i don't know which one is the common word), and 'honorable ruler'

I have a funny one.

In the United states "fanny" is a cute way to refer to someones butt or a short term for a small bag you wear around your waist (a fanny-pack). My friend discovered in an embarrassing fashion that in the U.K. it's used to refer to um, lady parts. You sure don't want to keep your wallet in your fanny in the U.K.

That's true and also fag means gay in the US but in the UK some people say it as in a cigarette.

Same root meaning for both terms, which is why fag is such an insult to gay people. Originally a faggot was a bundle of sticks used for kindling a fire. In either case it's supposed to refer to something meant to set on fire. Not cool.

There's also the double meaning for rubber. In U.K. an eraser, in the U.S. a condom.

ayumiyuu - yes, there word "here" is a very basic commonly used word. The command "Come here!" becomes quite lolsy! XDD

The word "fag" should mean a group of annoying Harley riders. I love South Park!

But in hungarian 'desu ka'='deszka' means a board. ^^
