ChrisL Posted June 13, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 13, 2019 There is a Dutch word I love and has no true English equivalent which is ferfalent. (Im spelling it phonetically, I’m sure I’m missing 3 additional vowels...) Basically means being a pain in the ass. Difficult would be close but difficult can be applied to people, situations or objects. Ferfalent is only used for difficult people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Zacharia Posted June 13, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 13, 2019 I believe there is an English slang equivalent. 19. Bakku-shan (Japanese)Or there's this Japanese slang term, which describes the experience of seeing a woman who appears pretty from behind but not from the front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
