    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.

    In America we have one primarily language and it’s acceptable to call it chili, chilli or chile.

        and “chilli” kinda doesn’t work on account of “chilly” literally having the opposite meaning

      In America? One language? Talk about US-centric thinking, the continent is a bit larger mate.
