Today, I realized that in French, my name means "penis." This wouldn't be so bad if my dad wasn't fluent in French. FML

Today, a friend informed me that my dog's name means "penis" in Greek. I live in a predominantly Greek neighbourhood, and apparently I've been screaming for "dong" every evening for the past 3 years. No wonder they don't talk to me much. FML

Actually, it could also be "Zizi", but I'm assuming it's Kiki because that seems more plausible. FYL OP, but I guess it's a nice way to break the ice, no? "Hi, what's your name?" "Penis. What's yours?" :)

I've spoken French for my entire life and I have never used nor heard anyone use Kiki as slang for penis. Maybe it's just the region I live in, but nonetheless, your name isn't so bad. I've heard worse. Example: ********. (Shih-theed) I feel bad for THAT guy. You don't even have to know any other languages to realize his life is ******.
