Yahoo Pipes on BNR
Yesterday I was a guest at De Electronische Eeuw by Herbert Blankesteyn from Business New Radio. Together with Michiel Frackers we discussed Yahoo Pipes.
At one moment I told them about a Vanity Search I made with Yahoo Pipes and Herbert replied in dutch
“Ok, dus je hebt jezelf ge-piped?”
This is funny because ‘Pipes’ if you translate it in dutch is ‘pijpen’.
And ‘pijpen’ is also the word for a blow job.
Seriously.
So Herbert asked me “Ok, so you gave yourself a blow job”.
Pretty hard to keep a straight face there.
We have more Web2.0 names that are difficult for the Dutch. Flickr sounds like ‘Flikker’ which means homosexual. Orkut sounds like ‘Kut’ which means vagina and now we have Yahoo Blowjobs…
