- sim7c00 11mo agocool, thanks a lot!
- InsideOutSanta 11mo agoThat name makes me slightly upset and afeared. The game looks nice, though.
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoWhy?
- tecleandor 11mo agoThere's certain sexual activity called pegging. I guess that's what could come to mind here :)
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoOh, I didn't know
- abcd_f 11mo agoThere's also smegma, which is not a whole lot better.
- Tade0 11mo agoIt appears that every short word means something obscene in some language. Advice would then be to avoid short names for products altogether.
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoI agree. I wanted to add something short and creative

- rlv-dan 11mo agoHonda Jazz was first called Fitta which is cunt in Swedish.
- InsideOutSanta 11mo agoIt reads like a portmanteau of pegging and smegma. Hope that helps, although I'm afraid it will do the opposite.
- mtizim 11mo agoFor me it's also that it works as a joke setup, just like "ligma" or "updog".

- junon 11mo agoYes, the intent is very clear. EDIT: It seems based on other comments you are genuinely unaware of how it sounds, which is totally fine - I feel someone should let you know it sounds like "peg me" or "smegma", which uh... well, ask an LLM what they mean, I suppose. I don't particularly want that in my HN comment history. :D
- GlebShalimov 11mo agoThanks for the explanation
