Thanks to OG (April 1999) and to YS and TÇ (July 1997) Fenasi Kerim I f*ck you bad From Fena; bad and Sikmek; to f*ck (Pronounced: Feh-nah-see Keh-reem) This name looks innocent, at first, but as our friend OG explains, "we used to phone our school telephone operator and have her 'page' this name, and as soon as she pronounced it on the loud-speaker system, listeners would begin to blush..." Korken Kanayan While/when you put it, it bleeds From Koymak; to put and Kan; blood (Pronounced: KOHR-ken KAH-nah-ah-yahn) OG explains, "Koymak is often shortened to 'komak' (or 'korum' for present tense) in colloquial Turkish -- when someone's in a hurry they drop the 'y'.
