Almost there Miltiades. Leptokaryo is the word.

It is from ancient Greek ποντικόν κάρυον and was transliterate with shortening by Arabs to fountouk which then became Turkish.

There was a disparity between pronunciations of π and ancient Greek phi which was pronounced [p] aspirated, nearly as in English put.

Pontikon ( ποντικόν) or Phontikon (Fontikon) and so on.

Thanks Tulip. Very interesting. Now you have me thinking that the 'bundukdari' was a gun used by the tsetes/chete's/bandits of the Pontus or by the Pontians of the region . It would not surprise me.

He is just a kurupetos Miltiades, what else can you expect from him?

You really are stupiddog!

It was a reply to a direct question by Bananiot and I was pointing out to him that it was none of his business.

When was the last time you climaxed oracle?

... which pretty much sums up the level of his rapier-like mind in debates.

But, if you're short on topics, be my guest .... Only, I've got nothing to offer others on this subject since it's a mystery to me how nature came up with such an ingenious, delightful device ... :D

I guess God realised that a man couldn't afford to buy the woman a pair of shoes (according to fig head) each time he wanted to have sex with her and her with him, so he invented this "orgasm thingy" to cut to the chase so to get the two to copulate with each other.!

I hear the women's shoes manufacturers are really pissed off with God.!

In a vaguely similar vein, am reminded of a story I read in a print on a pub wall in Cornwall, England many years ago...

God's in the habit, every now and again, of intervening by putting in a rare appearance to reward The Faithful, The Virtuous, The Doers of Good Deeds and He saw that a Devout Chap called Bert deserved a reward, so one night God appeared to Bert in a Vision.

God said to Bert... "Bert I have noticed your devotion to the faith, your good deeds to your fellow men etc etc and I want to reward you. What do you most desire in the World?"

Bert replied... "Well God I am a very keen surfer, but it's a long way to Hawaii to fly from here in California, and I would really like to be able to drive there, so can I have a bridge from Calif to Hawaii please""

Now God was a bit disappointed with this request and said to Bert... " Bert, That's a very material gift to have asked of me, it's not a problem for Me cos I can build you a bridge to Hawaii in a flash but I really expected you to ask for something a bit more spiritual, a bit more enlightening, a lot less material than that, so have another chance to ask for something less Worldly"

So Bert had a think and and said..."OK God, in which case I'd like to know something about Women. I mean how they think, what pleases them, what turns them on, how I can better understand them and above all how to know when they're not faking it."

And God says to Bert... "OK Bert, that's better, that's a much wiser choice. I'll just get back to Heaven and get the Best Brains, The Greatest Thinkers that have ever lived and died to work immediately to find you the answers you seek, on how women think, what turns them on, how to please them, how to stay on their good side, how to know when they're not faking it and I'll bring you back all the answers to all the questions you could ever ask about Women in a few days time....

Now days and days and then weeks and weeks passed 'til God reappears to Bert in a Second Vision and says...

"Bert, you know that bridge to Hawaii? How many lanes did you say you wanted on it?

He might be a kurupetos to you but he is a malaka to me !

What does 'Kurupetos' mean? I have an idea, but not too sure.
