minus-square@IonAddis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years ago “Eikel” is somewhat equivalent to “asshole”. The word means either “acorn” or the glans of a penis. I’m American, but isn’t the Brit insult “bell-end” similar to this?
minus-squareSkull giverlinkfedilink5•2 years agoThat sounds about right. Bell-end, knobhead, dickhead, they all refer to the tip of the penis, but in Dutch the word also has an innocent form.
