Am I crazy or is the actual NSFW term never actually described by the blog post? I can't for the life of me figure out what, exactly, is the issue here because I do not speak Dutch or German.

In the image it's the grey text in the red bar next to AliExpress. I know Dutch as a second language and it pops out as very rude, like something you would see on a porn site. The Google Translation is accurate.

The term is "Höschen fur ficken" > Höschen means panties, and ficken means, well… Hint: Dutch is a close cousin to English. Try just pronouncing it.

  I appreciate your response, but this is the same thing I'm annoyed about by the article itself -- it's an article written in English, describing a naughty phrase in Dutch, and then leaves only hints about the real problem. We're all adults here, you can write the phrase without fear of reprimand. I think it's a little... I don't know, rude? Inconsiderate? to leave the reader with the task of filling in the blanks.

    "neukende vrouwen" means "women fucking" in Dutch. "Höschen für ficken" means panties for fucking in German. As you see, a hint is enough :P

    It means „Panties for fucking“.

    Dutch person here. Not sure if I can actually post the translation here due to rules/moderation, but the dutch term basically means "women in the process of copulating". Likewise, the german one means "panties for copulating". I'm guessing that copulating is a term that I'm allowed to use here, but the real translation is the actual word that you'd normally use. As for the rude/inconsiderate part: I guess it is a little bit rude, as the target audience is clearly english speakers. On a similar note (unrelated to this discussion), as a dutch dev who works a lot with americans I think it's quite rude when native english speakers use idioms ("bob's your uncle", etc) when speaking with non-native english speakers. Even though they understand the words they still have to infer the meaning of such idioms from context, which can make them feel stupid (especially if they get it wrong). The worst one being the "what's up?" or "how are you doing?" greeting without expecting an actual, heart-felt response. That one always gets me.

    The linked article includes 'The text means "women who are f*cking"'. Seems fairly clear unless they added this after your post.

      The article seems to have been updated to include the English translation. It wasn’t there when I posted originally. If the author is reading this, thank you for the update, it’s much appreciated

  "Höschen fur ficken" Is German not Dutch.

The Dutch text "neukende vrouwen" means "women who are having sex". The German text "Höschen fur ficken" means "panties for having sex". I agree that for an article obviously intended for an international audience it's weird and lazy not to provide a translation for the very thing that the article is about.

The Dutch one is explained in the post as “women who are fcking”, but the German one is not spelled out quite so clearly. It’s “panties for fcking”. Does that help?
