Knull and Knulla are Dirty Words in Swedish

Tag: Random FactsDarren Barefoot @ 10:41 am

I just read this on the talk page for Knol on Wikipedia, and a quick Google search confirmed it. The terms (masculine and feminine, I assume) both mean, well, ‘fuck’. Here, for example, is a Swedish version of a certain notorious Tenacious D song.

From a Swedish-English dictionary:

knullar [²kn’ul:ar] knullade knullat knulla(!)
ha samlag (may be taken as offensive)

English translation: fuck

‘Knulla Handen’ is a related term, for masturbation. I leave you to parse that one yourself. There’s no word on how to pronounce ‘knol’ yet, I can’t say how close the words sounds to each other.
