Finnish Profanity
Profanity in Finnish is used in the form of intensifiers, adjectives, adverbs and particles, and is based on varying taboos, with religious vulgarity being very prominent. It often uses the aggressive mood which involves omission of the negative verb ' while implying its meaning with a swear word. Most words in Finnish can be used euphemistically in place of profanity by preceding it with ' (an interjection meaning "oh!"), for example ', which translates to "oh shit!". This also applies for ''vieköön'' (third person singular imperative of the verb ' "to take"), an example of this is the phrase ' (may the goblin take it). However, this was more prominent in older Finnish. The language also has other similar non-offensive constructs like ' which means "tallow candles of heaven", as well as having many non-offensive curse words. Contemporary Finnish profanity often has old origins; many words have Pagan roots that, after Christian influence, were turned from names of deities ...

Testicle
A testicle or testis ( testes) is the gonad in all male bilaterians, including humans, and is Homology (biology), homologous to the ovary in females. Its primary functions are the production of sperm and the secretion of Androgen, androgens, primarily testosterone. The release of testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Sperm production is controlled by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland and by testosterone produced within the gonads. Structure Appearance Males have two testicles of similar size contained within the scrotum, which is an extension of the abdominal wall. Scrotal asymmetry, in which one testicle extends farther down into the scrotum than the other, is common. This is because of the differences in the vasculature's anatomy. For 85% of men, the right testis hangs lower than the left one. Measurement and volume The volume of the testicle can be estimated by palpating it and compari ...

Epenthesis may be divided into two types: excrescence for the addition of a consonant, and for the addition of a vowel, svarabhakti (in Sanskrit) or alternatively anaptyxis (). Uses Epenthesis arises for a variety of reasons. The phonotactics of a given language may discourage vowels in hiatus or consonant clusters, and a consonant or vowel may be added to help pronunciation. Epenthesis may be represented in writing, or it may be a feature only of the spoken language. Separating vowels A consonant may be added to separate vowels in hiatus, as is the case with linking and intrusive R in En ...
