    In Finnish “pili” means a small dick.

      Is that the literal translation? Asking for a friend…

        It’s more of a slang word. I think it’s a variation of the word “pippeli” which means the same thing.

          You guys sure have a lot of words for small dicks.

            I guess you need that if you’re neighbors with Russia.

            Those are basically the same word though, and the one that people generally use if you have to talk to children/around children about penises. (So the implication of it being small comes more from the connotation of the penis being that of a child’s, so if you had one as an adult…)

            It’s like how in English “Richard” is somehow the longer form of “Dick”, or “Chuck” short for “Charles”.

              So a big penis a called “Richard” and everyone who calls theirs “Dick” has a small one?

                Idk that it works like that in English. Let me give it a whirl.

                “Hey babe, come over, I’m gonna richard your brains out”

                Mmm… I’m gonna need to digest this a bit

                  If this doesn’t roll over your tongue easily, maybe that says more about the size of your penis than about the English language. Or maybe it doesn’t. I’m not a native speaker

                    It’s not really about the ease-of-use as much it’s about the connotations.

                    “Richard” meaning big…?

                    Eeh…
